<p>The UK is a leading donor supporting the Government of Ethiopia to integrate nutrition
into health programmes in Ethiopia.</p><p>Under the Accelerating Reduction of Undernutrition
in Ethiopia programme (£49m, 2013-2018), we supported the transition of service delivery
for nutrition screening, Vitamin A supplementation and deworming from resource-intensive
donor-financed campaign-based delivery, into fully government funded routine service
delivery in the four regions with the highest rates of stunting in Ethiopia.</p><p>DFID
continues to support the Government of Ethiopia in delivering nutrition programmes
as part of routine heath service delivery. Currently the Sustaining and Accelerating
Primary Health in Ethiopia programme (£250m,2015-2020) is supporting the first 1000+
days nutrition initiative, the provision of micronutrient supplies and implementation
of the Seqota declaration. This aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture in the worst affected parts of the
country. Our Building Resilience in Ethiopia Programme (£262m, 2017-2022) is also
working to respond to nutrition emergencies, reducing reliance on parallel humanitarian
response.</p>
