Nigeria's nutrition crisis has been shown to have a considerable negative impact on infants, young children and women. Available evidence suggests that 'caring capacity' when properly planned and targeted at the most-at-risk can help. Strategies that can achieve this care are increasing women's income and control over income, increasing investment in women's education and improving access to credit facilities. Others are the aggressive promotion of gender-biased labour saving technology, increasing women's access to basic health and family planning services and implementing reforms in land ownership while instituting social security for women.
尼日利亚的营养危机已被证明对婴幼儿和妇女产生了相当大的负面影响。现有证据表明，经过妥善规划并针对最脆弱群体的“关爱能力”会有所帮助。能够实现这种关爱的策略包括增加妇女收入并增强其对收入的掌控、加大对妇女教育的投入以及改善信贷设施的获取途径。其他策略还包括大力推广有性别倾向的节省劳动力技术、增加妇女获得基本医疗和计划生育服务的机会、在土地所有权方面进行改革以及为妇女建立社会保障。
