      Good attempt. Both content and presentation are decent.
      Introduction is fine, you can also mention that simultaneously MDM also has an objective of increasing enrolment, retention and attendance of children. Good that you have mentioned data regarding malnutrition.
      Factors of ineffectiveness are also decent, poverty and dropout can be mentioned in a single because it is due to poverty that most dropouts happen..further, institutional problems like poor infrastructure; corruption and leakages; low salary of cooks and helpers; social discrimination etc can also be mentioned.
      Remedial measures are fine and conclusion is also okay, SDG 2 can be invoked in the conclusion.
      Keep writing. 🙂
