The multistage sampling technique was employed for the study. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the presence of statistically significant association GMP service utilization and independent variable at p_value <0.5 and adjusted odd ratio (AOR) value with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: This study revealed that 47% [95% CI, 42.74%, 51.26%] of the children utilized GMP services. Availability of growth monitoring service in the nearest health facility [AOR 5.829; 95% CI, 2.588-13.129], Mother or caregivers who visited antenatal care service [AOR 6.449; 95% CI, 2.078-20.019], mother or care givers who delivered in Health facility [AOR 3.417 95% CI; 1.162-10.053], favorable mother or caregivers attitude toward GMPservice [AOR 2.438 95% CI; 1.400-4.247] and mother or caregivers who have good knowledge toward GMP service [AOR 3.015; 95%CI, 1.729-5.259] were significantly associated with utilization of GMP services.
