In Cuba, which imports 80 percent of its food, iron-deficiency anaemia is the commonest nutritional disorder: recent studies by the Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene show that anaemia prevalence in the eastern region is 56.7 percent among children under 2 and 20.1 percent in children aged 2–5.
Development project 10589.0 will concentrate on the five eastern provinces identified as most vulnerable to food insecurity, supporting the National Plan on Prevention and Control of Anaemia to reduce anaemia to 15 percent by 2015. WFP and the Government have agreed a two-track strategy: WFP will provide iron-rich food and enhance local capacity to produce them in support of anaemic children; the aim is to extend access to an affordable food basket, establish production of enriched blended flour, improve household consumption patterns and support a phase-down.
