Spatio-temporal variation of child stunting and associated risk factors in Rwanda
The key risk factors for the under-five child stunting and their importance varied considerably over time in Rwanda. The findings suggest the need to improve the household-level welfare by strengthening targeted and district-tailored intervention programs from a multi-sectorial perspective, and sustain the programs outcomes beyond the intervention period.
