It is apparent from country reports that there remains much misunder- standing about the importance of breast-feeding practice. This is espe- cially true of the concept of exclusive breast-feeding for the first four to six months, which current information systems do not distinguish. The train- ing of health workers is critical to changing hospital practices. UNICEF supported such training in several countries, including Botswana, Chi- na, Cote dTvoire, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, Proper weaning practice is likexvisc of major importance in infant feeding. A study in Swaziland showed that poor feeding practices rather than lack of resources were the main factor leading to stunting before the age of two years, and the project to promote improved young child feeding ad- dresses this issue, with consultative help on the development of training materials provided by us AID. In Gha- na, the work-load on women was identified as a major constraint, and the comparable project includes pro- vision of small grinding mills and en- hancement of income-generating capacity. Household food security: During the year, UNICEF aiso provided direct support for household food produc- tion in several African countries. In the Masasi district of Tanzania, com- munities received UNICEF assistance to plant 100,000 acres of food crops, and the harvest was generally excellent (see profile, page IS}. In Nigeria, im- proved seeds and planting materials were distributed to farmers in two states. In Malawi, UNICEF continued its support to the national Food and Nutrition Policy Unit in die Office of the President. The Unit monitors 20Malawi's food and nutrition situation as well as area-based programmes to strengthen production and storage at household level. Similar approaches are being applied in Angola, Botswa- na, Guinea, Madagascar, Mozam- bique, Tanzania and Zambia.
