IV. Summary

Zimbabwe has decreased the rate of wasting significantly. For most other nutrition indicators, the country is showing some progress but not enough to remain on track to reach the targets. Exclusive breastfeeding has increased but the rate seems to go in the wrong direction in latest years. Though the immunization rate is high, insufficient dietary diversity and low levels of vitamin-A pose real dangers for children's health.
