Abstract
Global hunger is driven by poverty, conflict, and climate change, with Madagascar being one of the most severely affected countries. The 2022 Global Hunger Index classifies Madagascar as facing a serious food crisis, exacerbated by extreme weather and economic instability. This study analyzes UNICEF’s role in addressing hunger and malnutrition in Madagascar from 2020 to 2022 using a qualitative descriptive method. Through the Essential Nutrition Portfolio (ENP), UNICEF aims to improve child nutrition through coordinated interventions, including nutrition education, acute malnutrition treatment, and enhanced access to clean water and sanitation. Findings indicate that UNICEF’s multi-sectoral approach contributes to food security improvements, although poverty and climate change continue to hinder program effectiveness. Further evaluation is needed to assess the long-term impact of these interventions.
