Commitment of all teams to patients,families,communities & to do whatever it takes to bring epidemic to an end with approach that is trusted & locally led is remarkable teams that are often away from their families in really tough conditions-the world owes them all a huge amount

Dear Nigerian twitterati, I feel compelled to contribute to the intense debate concerning the value or stupidity of the Nigerian Home Grown School Feeding Program. I hope to lay out what I do know, based on some of the best available evidence.
There are fundamental concerns I cannot address. For example, I may not be able to convince you if you already believe that social welfare programs are evil or stupid. Also, If your preferred positions are guided by your politics, I may not also be able to help. That said . . .
We know from nationally representative surveys that more than 20% of Nigerian children are malnourished. In the Northeast and Northwest, the prevalence is as high as 50%. bit.ly/2qoldY6
