Despite Tooro being one of Uganda\u2019s most agriculturally productive regions\u2014often referred to as the country\u2019s \u201cfood basket\u201d\u2014districts like Kamwenge and Kyegegwa report child stunting rates approaching 40%, comparable to levels in chronically food-insecure regions such as Karamoja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This disparity reveals a broader systemic issue: in Uganda, malnutrition is no longer solely about food scarcity, but also about diet quality and nutrition education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTooro is a food basket. Yet, when you look at the data, it\u2019s competing with Karamoja for the highest malnutrition rates,\u201d said Dr. Daniel Kyabayinze, Director of Public Health. \u201cThe President often says: \u2018Your healthy people have failed to teach communities what to eat.\u2019 This initiative is about changing that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EPIC represents a shift in Uganda\u2019s nutrition strategy\u2014from focusing solely on food availability to emphasizing food utilization. By offering a familiar food product (eggs) in a more accessible format (powdered), the initiative reduces cultural resistance and addresses logistical barriers, particularly in under-resourced areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crucially, EPIC is designed to reach the communities that need it most. Christine Tuhaise, a mother from Kamwenge District, described a common paradox:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have good food\u2014eggs, avocados, pineapples\u2014but we sell it all. Our children are left eating cassava, matooke, or maize every day. And with the little money we earn, we often buy junk food instead of nutritious meals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her experience highlights two core challenges: economic pressures that prioritize income over child nutrition, and widespread gaps in dietary knowledge. EPIC addresses both by providing free, protein-rich egg powder and complementary nutrition education to encourage healthier household decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/govinfohub.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2-1-1024x711.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4149\" style=\"width:398px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/govinfohub.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2-1-1024x711.png 1024w, https:\/\/govinfohub.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2-1-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/govinfohub.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2-1-768x534.png 768w, https:\/\/govinfohub.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Picture2-1.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Each 12-gram sachet of EPIC egg powder\u2014equivalent to one whole egg\u2014is easy to add to staples like beans, rice, or porridge. It delivers highly bioavailable essential amino acids. Manufactured by Pristine Foods Ltd., the powder has a shelf life of 2 to 10 months, making it ideal for rural areas where refrigeration is limited and fresh eggs are expensive or scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative\u2019s supply chain promotes sustainability and community ownership. Eggs are sourced from more than 100 smallholder farmers, processed in Kireka, and distributed to regions with the highest nutritional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a quality product that we are embracing as part of our strategy to end all forms of malnutrition,\u201d said Samalie Namukose, Assistant Commissioner for Nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EPIC is currently in its first phase, providing free egg powder to 25,950 children aged 6\u201323 months in Kamwenge, Kyegegwa, Kyenjojo, and Kasese. Ultimately, 50,000 children will receive a daily sachet for six months\u2014totaling 180 servings per child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want families to see eggs as a staple for children. One egg a day can significantly improve a child\u2019s growth,\u201d Namukose emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EPIC is not just a short-term intervention. It forms a cornerstone of UNICEF\u2019s broader <strong>First Foods Africa<\/strong>&nbsp;strategy, which seeks to make nutrient-rich complementary foods accessible and acceptable across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda has made progress in reducing child malnutrition, but the pace remains slow. According to the 2022 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey, stunting among children under five has declined from 29% to 26%, and the proportion of underweight children has fallen from 14% to 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the national stunting reduction target of 12.5% by 2030, however, Uganda must accelerate its progress\u2014from a 0.9 to a 5.3 percentage point annual reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStunting has decreased\u2026 but we must push these numbers even lower,\u201d Namukose urged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a concerted effort to tackle chronic child malnutrition, Uganda\u2019s Ministry of Health\u2014supported by UNICEF, Pristine Foods Ltd., and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad)\u2014has launched the Egg Powder Initiative for Children (EPIC).
