| dc.description | This paper is the summary report of a seminar which was held at
the Institute for Development Studies from 2 to 19 June 1976, The seminar
was sponsored by USAID through a contract to Cornell University in Ithaca,
New York. Participants were government officers and employees of nongovernment
agencies from ten English-speaking African countries whose
responsibilities are clearly related to nutrition planning and policy making.
The report includes short summaries of the sessions conducted
by the seminar staff members. Some of these sessions were devoted to the
salient nutritional problems of Africa and their complex causes, to sociocultural
factors that influence the condition and its alleviation, and to
the basic economic considerations relating to the cause and control of
malnutrition and food shortages. However, much more time was devoted to
planning and policy relating to nutrition. The participants formed working
groups and prepared short reports on nutrition planning for Tanzania's
Ujamaa villages, on nutrition activities and goals in Kenya, on increased
wheat consumption and the trend toward bottle feeding in West Africa, and
on nutrition actitivities in the Sudan. The working group reports are also
included in this paper. | |
