The hypothesis for the study is that 12 months of a Ready-To-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) distributions have a greater impact on children's health than the standard RUSF distributions during the hunger gap period (june to september). We estimated that the 12 month RUSF will decrease the incidence of severe acute malnutrition by 33% compared to an administration only during the hunger gap period (4 month a year).
