Yet, malnutrition remains a critical public health issue. Effective Multisectoral Nutrition Governance (MNG) is an enabling determinant of nutrition ensures that nutrition policies are well-coordinated, adequately funded, and effectively implemented, leading to better nutrition outcomes.ObjectiveOur study assessed the status, evolution, and factors associated with MNG in Kenya using a cross-sectional design at two distinct time points (2012 and 2023). The two distinct time points provided valuable comparative perspectives allowing for the assessment of progress and trends in MNG allowing further analysis.MethodsThe study targeted 96 government and nongovernmental staff from eligible ministries at the national level. It used a structured closed-ended questionnaire adapted from a validated Nutrition Governance Index.ResultsOur findings reveal an improvement in MNG status, from 58.4% in 2012 to 71.1% in 2023 (<i>P</i> < .01). The six MNG domains demonstrated varying performance levels, with mean scores ranging from 3.1 to 4.0 (out of 5). Despite the performance variation, the domains contributed equally to the MNG status. A positive relationship was found between the MNG score and respondent affiliation with the Ministry of Health and the level of prioritization of nutrition in a ministry (<i>P</i> < .05).ConclusionsFurther efforts are needed to strengthen specific MNG domains, particularly nutrition financing, transparency, accountability, and capacity, to ensure progress in tackling malnutrition in Kenya. These findings can inform efforts to enhance MNG strategies to improve nutrition outcomes sustainably in Kenya.</p>","PeriodicalId":12394,"journal":{"name":"Food and Nutrition Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":"3795721251357628"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144658849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
