Abstract

The global health and economycontinues to devastate because of COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has a huge impact on access to appropriate nutritive foods, essential interventions and poverty. There arises a significant concern that the COVID – 19 pandemic and its repercussions have had a bad impact on the women and children’s nutrional status and this could worsen over the time. There are 149 million children under 5 years of age who are stunted according to the current estimates. Now COVID-19 threatens to reverse or halt further more. The effects on the linear growth in children and stunting could be more than the short-term effects of under nutrition if left unaddressed. Prioritizing nutrition for vulnerable children and women is of prime importance. Re-strategizing and reprioritizing investments forthe COVID-19 erashould be together done by the development partners, donors and governments using data-driven decision making.
