Simply put, malnutrition in the form of either undernutrition or overnutrition leads to poor health and can be fatal.

In Ghana, close to one in every five children under 5 years is stunted while one in every ten children under 5 is underweight. Almost 2 in 3 children between six months and two years of age are not fed food that supports their rapidly growing bodies and brains.
