Tackling infant malnutrition in The Gambia.

K Hoare.   

Abstract

Malnutrition is common among young children in developing countries. Often it is caused by poor infant weaning practices. Karen Hoare describes a community-based infant weaning programme in The Gambia which adapted local foods to improve nutritional content. The project also resulted in the development of a simple but effective demonstration kit.
