In order to increase our capacity to assess vulnerability and to target our interventions, our department has initiated a partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organisation, FAO, and together with the Southern African Development Community, SADC, it has set up a National Vulnerability Assessment Committee for South Africa. As we pursue the implementation of viable production interventions, nutrition education will be at the centre of our activities, and this will be co-ordinated in partnership with the Departments of Health and Basic Education.
