Stunting and wasting are the most causes of morbidity andmortality among children all throughout the world. Stunting and wasting in HargeisaSomaliland were distinguished as 30.1% and 20.1% separately in children below five years. Objectives: To identify the prevalence and determinants of stunting and wasting among underfive children at Hargeisa Somaliland, 2021. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study design including 403 study participantschosen by purposive sampling method was done at Hargeisa Somaliland from January to June2021. Data Information were collected utilized structured questionnaire from childparents/caregiverby face-to-face interview method used Kobo Collect tool. Anthropometricinformation is changed over into records of dietary status of Emergency NutritionAssessment(ENA) software 2012, and SPSS version 25 were used for data analysis.
