The vision of SEAMEO RECFON as a regional center for food and nutrition has been
translated into activities of research, education, capacity building and information
dissemination.
Research activity in particular, is a very important component for us to base our
activity in implementing our programs of capacity building, education and training, and
suggestions to policy makers.
In line with our 5-year development plan where we focus our research activity in
maternal and child nutrition, this book provides you with various topics of our research in the
past 5 years. We always welcome any suggestions to enrich our research in terms of topics,
various age groups or different community settings.
We acknowledge and highly appreciate supports and collaborations we have gained
from various institutions, which enabled us to conduct our research successfully. We look
forward to have more collaborations in the future.
