  abstract = {{T}his work reviewed the maternal and child folate status and the strategies used to tackle health disorders related to folate deficiencies in {A}frica. {P}ublished surveys conducted between 2005 and 2018 were considered. {C}riteria for establishing folate deficiency are variable (folate intake or serum folate concentrations). {F}olate deficiencies were frequent among the 11 countries with available data, prevalence of folate adequacy was very low and coverage of strategies used to fight deficiencies is limited. {T}o overcome folate deficiencies, fortification of staple foods is an option, but finding ways to make new folate-rich food available for the poorest is a must.},
