Resumen
Descripción
The Madagascar Food Security and
Nutrition Project (SECALINE) and the Senegal Community
Nutrition Project (CNP) were designed to prevent
malnutrition and to diminish existing malnutrition rates
among children under three years old. The former has been in
implementation since July 1993 and the latter since
mid-December 1995. Both projects have many similarities, due
in part to strong political involvement, effective local
commitment, very able and dedicated national staff, and in
part to the fact that the same Bank staff helped to design
them. Also, lessons learned from other nutrition projects
have been fed into the dsin of these two projects. However,
these two projects also differ in many respects. Analyzing
these projects might therefore be useful for other countries
which will like to diminish malnutrition rates through a
completely preventive approach using non-governmental
delivery mechanisms.
