A policy review for nutritional goals

Abstract

This paper presents a resume of the current nutrition activities and problems. Furthermore an outline is given on the impact of policies directly related to Nutrition. Two definite goals are indicated. One, the continued promotion of Nutrition Education as a major focus. This is because of a shift from curative to preventive measures against malnutrition. Two, in the sphere of cereal production Kenya may well consider the feasibility of participation in the ECA/MO regional grains storage scheme; due primarily to rapid technological advances in this field. Furthermore specific planning will be required for food production primarily for local consumption.
