Yemen Action Plan on Child Wasting (YAP) 

The SUN Yemen Coordination Secretariat sought to be part of this global momentum and adopted the preparation of a plan to face the child wasting in Yemen and by involving all local actors to support the cause of facing the child wasting in Yemen through the technical team (representatives of key sectors from the Ministry of Health, Water, Environment, Agriculture, Fisheries and Education), as well as the involvement of the Social Fund for Development, UNICEF, the WFP, FAO, as well as WHO.

Global Action Plan (GAP) on Child Wasting:

  • This Framework identifies four critical outcomes to achieving the SDG targets on child wasting and to improving early detection and treatment for those who need it.
  • Under each of these outcomes, the Framework identifies proven pathways to accelerate the delivery of essential actions and to create a more enabling environment for their success.
  • The GAP will accelerate action towards the four key outcomes that will directly contribute to the achievement of the SDG targets on wasting:
    1. Reduced incidence of low birth weight
    2. Improved child health
    3. Improved infant and young child feeding
    4. Improved treatment of children with wasting
