The many fronts in the struggle against malnutrition

23/10/2012

The Sahelian strip is affected by two forms of fragility: chronic food and nutritional fragility, accentuated by short-term seasonal episodes of varying severity. With the region once again hit by a food crisis this year, it is essential to both limit the impact of regular peaks of malnutrition and reduce structural vulnerabilities. Action Contre la Faim (ACF) adopts an integrated approach to this issue which aims to address all the direct and underlying factors of malnutrition at the same time.
