The Multi-sectoral Zero Malnutrition Programme focuses on children under the age of five, with a particular emphasis on children under two years of age, and, in its activities, it assigns priority to working with municipalities with a high degree of vulnerability to food insecurity. The program is a multi-sectoral effort and one of the most important challenges facing the current administration.
