Nutrition Situation in Senegal

Abstract

In Senegal, the government's engagement in the nutrition sector and the fight against malnutrition have steadily increased over the past two decades, translating into, among other things, (1) the establishment in 2001 of the Cellule de Lutte contre la Malnutrition (Nutrition Coordination Unit) (CLM) and its Bureau Exécutif National (National Executive Bureau); (2) an increase in the government's budget allocation to nutrition from an estimated US$0.3 million per year i
