Résumé : Idjwi Island in Lake Kivu in eastern Zaire supports approximately 50,000 largely subsistence farmers, the Bani-Iju. Rapid population growth, a declining economy, and a deteriorating environment have already converged to produce significant malnutrition in this isolated community. The programme, which included films about contraception, did not lead to a longer birth interval among the Bani-Iju, but did succeed in informing women about family planning. It is concluded that no intervention programme for promotion of family planning is likely to be effective without substantial improvement in the economy. -from Authors
