Acceptability and Use of Cereal-Based Foods in Refugee Camps : Case Studies from Nepal, Ethiopia and Tanzania Book

The fortification of cereal-based food rations is increasingly accepted to be the most efficient way of preventing micronutrient deficiencies in large refugee camps. Little is know, however, about the degree to which such foods are acceptable to refugees, or how they actually use them. These factors are important in considering how, and when the foods are fortified: before, during, and after distribution. This Working Paper reports on field-based research into these questions. The conclusions are presented in a general summary report, which is supported by three detailed case studies.
