- The country should increase public expenditure in agriculture to meet the CAADP Malabo target of 10%, enhance access to agricultural financial services by men and women, and invest in nutrition interventions to reduce stunting among children under 5 years old.
- The country should ensure efficient data collection and reporting on the Malabo indicators for the next round of the Biennial Review reporting.
