Introduction: Stunting are still being concerned worldwide due to it's relatively high prevalence in the last 5 years, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. in which. although experiencing a decline. it is relatively slow. This study examines several direct and indirect determinants of stunting in Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. Methods: Researchers used secondary DHS data to analyze the incidence of stunting from a survey in Nigeria 2018. Zimbabwe 2015 and Ethiopia 2016. Researchers conducted a bivariate analysis test using a cross-sectional method to see the rclationship of independent variables fj'om vitamin a supplementation. BML exclusive brcastfeeding. nutritional status. mother, complementary feeding. fi'equency of ANC visits. immunization status. low birth weight. water sourccs. sanitation. birth spacing. maternal education status, health insurance. smoking mothers. and wealth status on the dependent variable stunting. Followed by multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that vitamin A supplementation was significantly associated only in Ethiopia. IMD is not related in all three countries. Maternal nutritional status is significantly associated in Ethiopia. The provision of complementary foods was significantly associated in Nigeria and Ethiopia. The frequency of ANC visits was unrelated in all thrce countries. Immunization status is significantly associated in Ethiopia. LBW is significantly associated in Nigeria. The source of drinking water does not have a significant relationship. The type of sanitation did not have a significant relationship. Maternal education status is significantly associated in Nigeria and wealth index is significantly associated in either Nigeria or Ethiopia. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that vitamin A supplementation. maternal nutritional status. complementary foods, immunization, LBW. maternal educational status. and wealth index may have an effect on growth deficiency of children under 5 years of age in Nigeria. Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. A multisectoral repair program is needed to solve the problem of stunting.
