Descripción
This article previews the Food Security
and Nutrition Project, which is primarily active in two of
Madagascar's six provinces. The project has three
components: (a) income generating activities to be carried
out through: (i) the Fonds d'Intervention pour le
Developpement (FID) financing labor intensive works and
other income generation activities, and (ii) a food for work
program targeted to the urban poor in Greater Antananarivo;
(b) nutrition interventions including: (i) a community
nutrition program in the provinces of Toliary and
Antananarivo working through mothers' groups organized
by a community nutrition agent supported by nongovernmental
organizations to provide nutrition education, arrange
supplemental feeding and refer severe cases of malnutrition
to nutrition rehabilitation centers operating under medical
supervision, and (ii) a national iodine deficiency disorders
control program; and (c) institutional strengthening to
support the development and execution of an information,
education and communication program and support the
development of a national food security strategy for the
long term.
