Read morerares, les participants ont proposé que chaque famille puisse avoir un petit jardin domestique afin de permettre à chaque famille d'avoir la possibilité de cultiver des légumes et améliorer ainsi l'état nutritionnel de leurs enfants.

Ceci passe par le renforcement des saving groups qui sont déjà opérationnels pour rendre les communautés, surtout les femmes autonomes sur le plan financier. (4) Faire participer plusieurs personnes dans les activités de sensibilisation: Etant donné que ces dialogues sont organisés au niveau des communautés et où le nombre des participants est limité, les participants au dialogue de Ngandu ont suggéré à ce que World Vision puisse intensifier ces dialogues et les étendre dans d'autres entités, même dans des milieux les plus reculés, afin de se rassurer que la majorité de la population a la vraie information sur les causes de la malnutrition et qu'ils s'engagent à en faire leur lutte commune pour améliorer la situation.
