child being weighted during a nutrition surveyPosted by Brian Jones
1 December 2003 – I recently did a nutrition survey in Bolosso Sorie which followed a standard 30 x 30 cluster methodology to estimate the prevalence of acute malnutrition in the area.

He turned out to be a bouncingly healthy child.....
