Fortified flour is being used in Madagascar to combat widespread child malnutrition, which affects four out of 10 children on the island. Known as "Koba Aina", the flour is made into a nutritious porridge that is sold door-to-door at affordable prices to vulnerable families.
A Malagasy business has been developing the porridge, prepared daily by local vendors, to avoid the irreversible cognitive and physical damage that malnutrition causes during the first 1,000 days of a child's life.
