Malnutrition

In some countries like in case of Namibia, there are no Public health nutritionist at the regions or among the communities to advice communities about attempting to cook in balanced diet. I ti s not always that there is nothing to eat or not enough to aim a balanced diet but lack of knowledge and skills on how prepare a balanced diet will results in malnutrition.

Namibia as a country has no specific budget to cater malnutrition, we depend on donors for this combating malnutrition, although the country has set up strategies to scale up nutrition. One cannot fulfill what  planned to fulfill without a budget on your own.

The traditional way of cooking, one big meal with only one type of diet for instance if it is porridge, it is just porridge which is carbohydrates for energy provision, sometimes throughout the year.
