Abstract
This study investigates the impact of agricultural financing, energy poverty, human capital, and corruption on child and maternal malnutrition in nine West Sub-Saharan African countries from 1990-2019. Using advanced panel econometrics techniques, including the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR), the study finds that agricultural credit and foreign aid negatively affect malnutrition, while research spending positively influences it. Energy poverty and human capital negatively impact malnutrition, while corruption increases it. Policy recommendations focus on investments in SDG 4 (education), SDG 7 (energy), and SDG 17 (partnerships) to address malnutrition and advance SDG 3 (health).
