Description

All children have the right to adequate nutrition for a healthy life. Unfortunately, this fundamental right is often overlooked because the consequences of poor nutrition may not be immediately apparent. Vitamin A deficiency is one example. Although they may not always display visible signs, approx. 127 million pre-school children worldwide are affected by underlying deficiency in Vit. A, putting them at greater risk of illness & death. UNICEF plays a lead role in the effort to reach all children between the ages of 6 & 59 months with life-saving supplements every 4-6 months. This report traces the progress of vit. A supplementation programming following 10 years of global advocacy. It provides the most comprehensive review of efforts to date. Illustrations.
