1. Introduction Undernutrition remains a significant public health challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa, with women of reproductive age and children <5 years of age particularly affected. [1] Household sanitation, income, feeding and caring practices have been identified as important determinants of undernutrition in these groups. [2,3] Globally, an estimated 820 million people were undernourished in 2020, and nearly 45% of deaths among children <5 years of age were linked to undernutrition.
