N2  - A comparative analysis of nutritional levels in Zimbabwe, prior to independence in 1980 and present, shows a considerable improvement in the overall reduction of malnutrition, noted especially in the areas of infant and child malnutrition. This study cites a governmental commitment to public, primary and rural health care improvements, water and sanitation services and family planning programs targeted towards vulnerable groups. Two major threats to improvements are: drought which results in food shortages; and a sharp rise in infant and child HIV/AIDS cases. The study further cites a definite need to continue defining and implementing a national nutrition policy which would be flexible enough to address both present needs and impending issues
