PIP: Ultimately it is true that durable nutritional improvement of populations can be achieved only as part of their overall socioeconomic development, but ill-health and poor productivity induced by undernutrition can act as important deterrents to economic development. Thus undernutrition is now rightly perceived by planners and policy-makers of developing countries both as a cause and as an effect of the underdevelopment. In the mid-1970s the World Bank initiated 4 nutritional intervention projects. These studies emphasized certain important points. Although malnutrition is closely linked to a country's level of economic development, improved nutrition need not await that development. These programs also need not be prohibitively expensive if they can be directed effectively to the needist groups. A 2nd study is based on WHO experiences with nutrition programs. It points out that scarce resources alone cannot totally explain the existing nutonal scene. Internal resources have been under-utilized and major nutrition programs have been poorly implemented. The greatest merit of these studies is that they highlight the concept that malnutrition is as much a cause as an effect of underdevelopment and that investments in nutrition programs by poor countries are econmically justifiable inputs for theiroverall development and not mere welfare charity operations.
