The problem of malnutrition and the potential solutions that have been proposed
require a close working relationship and understanding among several disciplines.
AID can serve as the catalyst for cooperative action by sponsoring and parti-
cipating in international work sessions which bring together the many components--
biochemists, food technologists, industry and marketing experts, government
representatives, nutritionists, agriculturests, etc. A great deal of informa-
tion is available to each of the fields, and an important step at this time is
to ensure that it is efficiently pooled and coordinated. Since each country
in a region cannot usually afford the personnel and monetary resources required
for various support facilities such as training centers, food testing centers,
etc., international workshops can serve to promote regional cooperation in
program planning and implementation. International workshops are planned as
follows in FY 68 and 69, with estimated WOH costs:

other lecturers and assistants, and other logistical support such as costs for
room rentals, simultaneous translation, printing of reports, etc.

WOH requires flexibility to determine choice of workshop locations, dependent
on progress being made or special developments in the various nutrition-
related fields.
f.
The 1968 programmed conference in Lima, Peru, September 24-30, will be the
Fifth Conference on Malnutrition in the Americas under the "Operation Ninos"
program. Valuable exchanges have taken place, awareness and urgency of the
problem has been created, and programs to develop low-cost nutritious foods
have evolved. This program was originally initiated by the central office of
Material Resources and was turned over to the LA Bureau after 2 2 years. In
a stage of transition now, the Bureau has requested WOH assistance in imple-
menting the program. The FY 1968 workshop is being jointly financed by the
Latin America Bureau and WOH.
