Abstract:	Information about nutrition in African countries, compiled for use by those involved in nutrition programmes and for those who will train nutrition education fieldworkers in rural and urban areas. The guide has benefitted greatly from the experience and ideas of nutritionists and health workers in Africa, Particularly in Togo, Benin and Cameroon. The book is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the nutritional value of local foods, the nutritional requirements of vulnerable groups and the need and ways to supplement local diets; part II with the place of milk in local diets and how dried skim milk can be used most effectively as a food supplement.
