Malnutrition:
Peru has gained global recognition for successfully reducing stunting in children under 5 from 23.2% in 2010 to 12.1% in 2020. This achievement is attributed to sustained political commitment, evidence-based interventions, and a period of unprecedented economic growth. However, the country still grapples with nutrition challenges, particularly high rates of overweight and obesity among school-aged children and adolescents. Despite the implementation of a law promoting healthy foods for children and adolescents in 2013, there is a continued need to raise awareness among families and build capacities in health and education personnel to fully implement the relevant components of the law.

UNICEF aims to address this issue in peri-urban districts of San Martin de Porres and Carabayllo in Northern Lima, focusing on interventions on school-aged children (6 – 11 years) and adolescents (12 – 17 years) with a 2-year project using the SBC model.
