Original: Child malnutrition is one of Africa’s biggest health challenges: food aid is only part of the solution
Child malnutrition remains one of Africa's most serious health challenges, and experts argue that food aid is only part of the answer. Lasting progress is said to require broader measures addressing the underlying causes of poor nutrition, such as poverty, disease and lack of access to diverse diets, rather than emergency food supplies alone.
Why now: Renewed attention on Africa's child malnutrition crisis and debate over whether aid-based responses are sufficient.
