Documentation of best practices in Seqota Declaration program in Ethiopia, Shebedino Woreda, Sidama Region

Abstract

Background: Although Ethiopia has recorded a steady and impressive reduction in stunting over the past decade, levels remain high and stark geographical inequalities persist. To address these problems, on 15th July 2015, the Government of Ethiopia announced and implemented the Seqota Declaration that commits to ending stunting among children under 2 years by 2030. However, little is known about the documentation of this program’s practices and the effective implementation of Seqota Declaration programs in Ethiopia. Identifying and documenting such practices could help strengthen health systems and improve health outcomes.
