Childcare, nutrition and health in the central plateau of Haiti: the role of community, household and caregiver resources

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: This report presents the main findings of a baseline survey evaluation of the integrated maternal and child health (MCH) programme being implemented by World Vision-Haiti in the Central Plateau of Haiti. The goal of the overall study is to compare the recuperative approach to food supplementation, which targets malnourished children identified through regular growth monitoring activities, with the preventive approach, which targets all children six to 23 months in an attempt to prevent malnutrition rather than intervene once malnutrition is already established.Owner: Menon, P.; Ruel, M.; Arimond, M.; Ferrus, A.pdf: www.fantaproject.org/downloads/pdfs/ChildCare_Haiti2003.pdf
