    Micronutrient malnutrition affects one in every three persons living in sub-Saharan Africa. Women and children are most severely affected by micronutrient malnutrition, particularly deficiencies of iron, iodine and vitamin A. Between 40-80 percent of children in the region are iron deficient and forty percent of children under 6 years of age do not get enough vitamin A. For children micronutrient malnutrition affects their health, growth and ability to concentrate in school. Even small improvem ents in the nutritional quality of the foods children consume can increase their micronutrient intake and therefore improve their health.
