The second national nutrition program (NNP II) represents a multisectoral implementation approach charged at ending hunger by 2030. It contains several interventions prioritised for attaining its vision: optimal breastfeeding; optimal complementary feeding; mitigation and prevention of micro-nutrient deficiencies; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); deworming; food fortification; and management of acute malnutrition. "The overall goal of this program implementation manual is to facilitate and ignite the accelerated reduction of malnutrition to achieve zero hunger by 2030 and meet Sustainable Development Goal targets".
