Risk factors associated with severe stunting at the individual level were LBW (AOR 1.38, CI95%:1.01-1.88); father occupation (unemployement and non formal sectors: AOR 1.45 CI95%:0.91-2.30 and AOR: 1.18 CI95%: 1.00-1.38 rspectively); and at the provincial level was tax ratio (AOR 0.88 CI95%: 0.82-0.95) Conclusion: LBW, unemployment father or non formal sector employee were more likely to be severe stunting.
