	Sunday, May 09, 2004
	Most nutrition interventions in developing countries have been designed primarily to reduce malnutrition among children. Even programmes which include women tend to focus on pregnant and lactating women. This approach limits the success of interventions since action to improve nutrition-related reproductive outcomes is most effectively implemented before women become pregnant, and preferably should be undertaken before girls reach reproductive age.
