Comprehensive coverage of Essential Nutrition Actions throughout the lifecycle is fundamental to Universal Health Coverage. People of all ages and vulnerabilities, especially children, have the right to good nutrition and health. Only the health sector can deliver essential nutrition services. Nutrition must be prioritized within health budgets and UHC.
Universal access to nutrition services can be achieved through strengthening of the community health workforce. CHWs are an under-invested resource for scaling up nutrition service provision and health systems presence in hard-to-reach communities. World Vision International calls on Member States to prioritize investment in nutrition service delivery, community health workers, and strengthening of national health systems for universal coverage of essential nutrition services.
