Abstract | Described in this issue of "Children in the Tropics" are handicraft, semi-industrial, and industrial projects which produce weaning foods in developing countries. The introductory section briefly discusses the global epidemiology of malnutrition and offers guidelines for combatting malnutrition. Chapter I provides a framework for reflection on the establishment of a workshop for the production of a weaning food, and discusses the decision to produce such food at a semi-handicraft level as part of an effort to be a self-financing, independent component of economic development. Chapter II discusses the production of weaning foods at the Ouando Gardening and Nutrition Centre in the People's Republic of Benin. Particular attention is given to ingredients, functioning of the workshop, distribution, promotion, economic aspects, nutritive values, and how families react to the product. Chapter III discusses the MISOLA weaning food experiment in Burkina Faso. The early period of production, evolution and assessment of production, and integration of MISOLA into nutrition education are discussed. Chapter IV describes the production of a porridge, Likuni Phala, in Malawi, a country that is, paradoxically, an agricultural exporter having difficulties meeting the nutritional needs of its citizens. Chapter V discusses the local production of weaning foods in Africa. (RH) |
