Summary[edit]

Description

A community group meets in the shade of a mango tree, to discuss malnutrition and healthy eating, in the rural town of Masi Manimba, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The community meets together like this once a week, to identify issues that need to be tackled, and agree how to address them.

Since the NGO Action Against Hunger spent three months in this town tackling a malnutrition crisis in 2010, malnutrition the number of cases of malnutrition amongst the town's children have dropped significantly, and the community has come together to tackle the problem itself.

Background

Acute malnutrition is a major public health problem across the Democratic Republic of Congo. UK aid has supported the government of DRC and aid agencies including Action Against Hunger to provide emergency nutrition response programmes across DRC in 2010 and 2011.

In some areas, the communities have taken the ideas that Action Against Hunger brought to them, and organised themselves to tackle malnutrition from the ground up - by forming their own co-operative farms and self-support groups.
