National Strategy on Infant and Young Child Nutrition and its implementation plan (2004), as well as the National Nutrition Strategic Plan 2006 and the Maternity Protection law of 2005. 33 Zanzibar has shown good progress in reduction of less than five malnutrition. Levels of stunting decreased substantially. From 1991/92 to 1999, and continued to do so in 1999 and 2004. Stunting rate dropped by more than half, from 49% in 1991/92 to 23% in 2004. Extrapolating the current trend up to 2010 suggests that for Zanzibar, the MDG for chronic malnutrition will be met. This in fact holds true for both Unguja, with even lower stunting levels of 18% in 2004, and Pemba, with 32% of under fives stunted. The following table shows the nutritional status in Zanzibar:Table No. 2: Nutrition Status: Moderately to severely Malnourished Rates 2004/2005 in Zanzibar.
