FNSP-studies, 1985-1992 : results & recommendations

The present report is a compilation of summaries detailing the results and recommendations of the more than twenty studies completed to date as part of the Food and Nutrition Studies Programme (FNSP), an international cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Planning and National Development in Kenya and the Dutch Ministry of Development Cooperation initiated in 1983 and implemented by the African Studies Centre, Leiden. The studies range from a review of government agricultural pricing to an analysis of the influence of the home environment on childhood malnutrition. Here they have been grouped according to four subtopics, viz. food production and marketing; food security, food consumption and nutritional status; household resources and income generation; and rural development and food security. The report also contains a review of the Food and Nutrition Studies Programme, including the major conclusions for each of the subtopics in question
