In May 2011, MSF organized a press conference in Paris headquarters to present the results of preventative strategies against malnutrition implemented in Niger in 2010. A 50%-lower mortality rate was reported in a group of children under-two years old having benefitted of the distribution of milk-based, ready-to-use supplementary foods in Madarounfa district, Maradi region. During the press conference, MSF advocated towards G8 countries, on the eve of Deauville summit, for them to systematically include the distribution of appropriated food for young children in strategies against malnutrition.
