Descripción
High rates of chronic and acute malnutrition in Luapula valley were the starting point for the IHFSAN project. Causes of malnutrition in Luapula valley were identified as: i) household food insecurity; ii) poor health, water and sanitation; iii) poor knowledge base; and iv) inadequate care for the nutritionally vulnerable. This analysis was confirmed by a participatory rural appraisal carried out by FAO in 1996 in preparation for the project. The project started operations of its present phase i n 1997 and will conclude in December 2001. The original budget of US$ 3,314,000 was increased to US$ 3,651,035 following a tri-partite review in 1999; by mid-2001 US$ 3,037, 979 were spent.
