Policy Insights Ending Child Hunger and Malnutrition in East Africa
Monday, March 9, 2026

This policy brief introduces the ENOUGH Campaign in East Africa and invites you to be part of a practical response rooted in bold hope to end child hunger and malnutrition. It explains the challenge clearly, highlights what is working, and sets out actions that governments, donors, businesses, civil society, communities and friends of children can take together. The goal is simple and urgent: to make sure every child has ENOUGH of the right food to grow well, learn in school and thrive.

Across the region, families, partners and frontline teams continue to show extraordinary resolve in the face of conflict, climate shocks and rising costs. Their courage deserves steady support and solutions that last. Guided by World Vision’s child‑focused, community‑empowering and partnership‑driven approach, this brief brings proven ideas into one place so it is easier to understand the issues, spot opportunities and act with confidence. Progress is possible when we work together, listen to children and put their wellbeing first.

Inside the brief you will find:

  • Clear, easy‑to‑read explanations of what the ENOUGH Campaign is and why it matters now.
  • Country snapshots that show needs, progress and gaps.
  • Priority actions to strengthen nutrition services, expand nutritious school meal programmes and build climate‑resilient local food systems.
  • Practical ways to coordinate across health, education, agriculture and water, sanitation and hygiene.
  • Entry points for advocacy, funding and partnership, including how to involve children’s voices in decisions that affect them.

This is more than a document. It is a shared call to read, share and act so that no child goes to bed hungry. Join us, add your voice and help build a future where every child is safe, nourished and free to dream.
