Report To The

Secretary Of Agriculture.

Areas Needing Improvement In The Adult

Expanded Food And Nutrition

Education Program

The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education
Program of the Department of Agriculture re-
ceives about $50 million annually in Federal
funds to improve the nutrition knowledge and
diets of low-income families.
A limited GAO assessment of the program
showed the need to better cope with the im-
pact of inflation on its funding and human
resources. The assessment also showed the need
for (1) better communication alternatives,
standards, and evaluation tools to demonstrate
the program's effectiveness, (2) stronger pro-
gram administration, and (3) increased coordi-
nation within the program and with other nu-
trition programs.

This report discusses these problems and con-
tains recommendations to help achieve the
needed improvements.
