Protein-Energy Malnutrition Intervention Strategies

Abstract

The authors look at the vast, far-reaching problem of Protein-Energy Malnutrition in Southern Africa, analyse and evaluate the different aspects, and then show and explain in a practical, step-by-step way, that intervention strategies are indeed, available. It is a complex, sensitive problem which needs a multi-sectorial ecological approach and should be the concern of top political bodies to co-ordinate all the various government) private and. foreign help, so that it becomes a well-organised, coordinated and comprehensive programme.
