Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to briefly examine and analyze U.S. Foreign Assistance Policy as carried out by the Agency for International Development (AID) in integrating nutrition/food consumption concerns into agricultural projects. In particular the paper will examine the scope of attempts at such integration and review the strategic feasibility of AID policy statements in the AID Policy Paper: Nutrition (May, 1982), the AID Policy Paper: Food and Agriculture (May, 1982) and the methodologies suggested in the draft Nutrition Strategies (June, 1983). This paper sets the stage for a larger study which will examine AID's field record for integrating nutrition concerns into agricultural projects. An outcome of the overall study will be a list of strategies for future attempts to integrate nutrition concerns into project design, implementation and evaluation. Through an analysis of current AID policy put in its historic and dynamic context, this paper will serve as a springboard for the development of this list of strategies. At the same time, through policy analysis the soundness and applicability of current nutrition policy will be discussed.
