ABSTRACT
Background: The problem of malnutrition still persists in Tanzania mainland. Tanzania is not the only country suffering from the problem of malnutrition, at least one form of malnutrition if not many is identified in every country across the world. Millions of under-fives die every year from malnutrition and those who manage to survive fail to reach their full potential when reaching adulthood due to undernutrition. Good nutrition governance is an important component in fighting against malnutrition. Good nutrition governance embraces multisectoral collaboration but the challenge remains on the government to build adequate commitment, collaboration among actors for nutrition as well as setting up capabilities to work on these commitments. This study assessed the level of commitment and capability among regions and councils to deliver nutrition services in Tanzania mainland.
Methods: A cross sectional study designed which involved a national survey where all councils and regions were involved was conducted in Tanzania mainland between June and July 2020. A total of 184 councils and 26 regions were invited to participate in a study and only 116 councils and 21 regions qualified to participate in this study. The same number of nutrition officers from these regions and councils responded to questions assessed nutrition officers. Quantitative data collection approach was used to collect quantitative data by the help of employed web based structured questionnaire.
