Malnutrition remains one of Kenya's most pressing health challenges, with recent data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicating that the country is grappling with an 18 per cent malnutrition rate.

The crisis raises questions about Kenya's ability to meet the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2030.
