- Description
- This paper reports on a survey into the nutritional levels of young children living in a rural area of central Ciskei. The project was undertaken to advance two independent research initiatives, the one concentrating on nutritional levels of children in the Eastern Cape and Ciskei region, the second focussing on a comprehensive rural development programme in the Amatola Basin. Mr R.J. Fincham, the project leader and author of the paper, has during the last two years published two Working Papers reporting on comparable research projects in the Eastern Cape aimed at assessing health levels of young children. This programme has been undertaken with the close cooperation and help of the South African Department of Health. Sincere appreciation is due to Dr J.D. Krynauw, the Eastern Cape Regional Director, and nurses on his staff who undertook a large part of the fieldwork required by the project. The rural development programme is being executed by the Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute of the University of Fort Hare in collaboration with residents of the Basin itself. Appreciation is also due to that Institute, to the clinic sisters of the Khomkulu clinic in the Amatola Basin, and to the mothers and other residents of the Basin who cooperated with the research team.
