The capacity of the MOH and its partners to implement the National Health Sector Strategic Plan II and contribute to the attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) will be enhanced. The UN will also work with key Government institutions and partners to develop and deliver a comprehensive package of nutrition interventions, including positive WASH practices and Community-led Total Sanitation, contributing towards Open- Defecation Free (ODF) communities. Particular attention will be paid to vulnerable populations, children under-five years, pregnant and lactating women, with combined efforts to prevent stunting.
