Background
Tanzania is among the African countries with the highest levels of malnutrition. Some 42 percent of children under the age of five are stunted, eight out of ten children under the age of one are anemic, and about one third of children aged 6 to 59 months are Vitamin A deficient. Poor nutrition is also a serious problem among women of reproductive age, with more than half of pregnant women anemic and one in ten women undernourished.
