Abstract
The 2016 SMART Inquiry shows that the Department of Mayahi in Niger, presents one of the highest malnutrition rate in the country. The present study aims at analyzing the relationships between the sociocultural environment, the parents/children socio-affective links mainly the mother/child interactions and the settling of infantile malnutrition observed to the child from that Department. The explored data stem from the Link NCA (Nutrition Causal Analysis) Inquiry from 2016 to 2017 in Mayahi. The results suggest three major facts: a weakening of the parents/child socio-affective relationship caused by closed pregnancies, early pregnancies, a brutal affective weaning, the child’s social conditioning to dependence and by the parents’ lack of accountability; an inadequate interaction between the mother and the child; and finally an ill-fitted food supply practices.
