ABSTRACT : Child malnutrition is pervasive and persistent in Asia, and at present rates it will take decades to halve the prevalence - a good common to many national plans. Nutrition - oriented programs are familiar in most countries, but have far too low coverage and resources, which is wasteful as well ineffective. A massive expansion of community-based programs is feasible, with well-established actvities (usually including support to : antenatal care, breastfeeding, caring practices including complementary feeding, growth monitoring feeding, growth monitoring, access to health care). Networks of local complementary, feeding, growth monitoring, access to health care). Networks of local workers, ensuring individual contact with families, are the essential feature. 56
