Child wasting remains a major cause of preventable illness and death, requiring effective prevention, early identification, treatment, follow-up and relapse prevention across routine, fragile and humanitarian health systems. However, conflict, displacement, climate shocks, food insecurity and financing constraints often weaken service access, quality and continuity. Existing monitoring systems provide limited insight into service readiness, quality of care, referral completion, equity, supply continuity and populations missed by services, while data sources are often fragmented and poorly linked to decision-making. This initiative will strengthen the quality and performance of child wasting services by addressing system-level constraints and integrating quality improvement approaches into national health systems. Led by UNICEF’s Child Nutrition and Development Global Practice, the multi-country programme will support countries across Asia-Pacific and fragile and humanitarian settings through a common technical framework adapted to local contexts, in partnership with ministries of health, regional and country offices, and implementing partners.
