Abstract
As in other developing countries in the tropics, severe malnutrition in Africa is mainly a problem in young children and pregnant women. The various disorders are discussed. Seasonal food shortages, maldistribution, ignorance, especially with regard to weaning, and urbanization, are major contributing causes. Better nutrition should not be regarded only as a means to development, but a principal goal of development itself. Policy measures to improve nutrition are outlined.
