Your emphasis on (the need for) government intervention touches on some recent IDS research, which essentially explored whether/how markets and the private sector can get nutritious food to the poorest (work led originally lead by John Humphrey and Ewan Robinson). One aspect looked at the role of businesses and markets when it came to rolling out micronutrient policies and how this runs into difficulties in areas where food purchasing largely occurs in informal markets. We did an infographic which tries to capture how/why some of this tends to break-down http://www.ids.ac.uk/publication/can-the-private-sector-tackle-undernutrition-amongst-the-poorest-people (I should confess that I was involved in producing it!). <br /><br />As it happens, their research looked at Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania, so might be worth a closer look?
