Report on the DPRK Nutrition Assessment October 2002

In 2002, the Government of the DPRK, in co-operation with UNICEF and WFP, carried out a nutrition assessment in seven provinces and three cities. Fieldwork for the assessment was completed in October 2002. The aim of the assessment was to determine the nutritional status of children less than seven years of age and of their mothers, and to analyse the importance of possible causal factors.  In this report the Central Bureau of Statistics presents the situation of the "youngest child of 6,000 selected households" as well as findings related to causal factors.
