Abstract

The paper analyzes the impact of Chile's Complementary Feeding Program (CFP), both on the direct and indirect beneficiaries. The paper describes Chile's major nutrition intervention programs and establishes the relative importance of the CFP in terms of budgetary expenditures and number of beneficiaries reached. It briefly reviews the program's past limitations, recent reforms and potential effectiveness. Finally, using data from the 1974-75 National Nutrition Survey, it examines whether participation by beneficiaries in the program was responsible for any significant difference in various indicators of nutritional wellbeing, once factors such as income, urban/rural location, sex and age are taken into account.
