Iringa. While Tanzania’s national stunting rate remains above the global average of 22 percent, the Iringa Region continues to rank among the worst-affected areas, recording a rate of 56.9 percent, despite being one of the country’s leading food producers.
Raising children in workplaces and giving alcohol to those under five years have contributed to the high prevalence of stunting in Iringa, an investigation by The Citizen has found.
