| description |
This section describes the priority
nutrition interventions and cross-cutting approaches that
are essential to promote and protect the nutritional status
of mothers and children as well as a country's human
capital in the short-, medium-, and long-terms. The main
thrust of the guidance is that: (1) policies give special
attention to the critical 'window of opportunity'
represented by the first 1,000 days of life; (2) policies
are aligned with the latest international recommendations in
nutrition; (3) policies and interventions of key sectors are
coordinated to provide synergy of action; and (4) resources
allocated for disaster prevention and emergency management
are invested in the most cost-effective way. Monitoring is a
continuous process of collecting and analyzing information
to better understand how well a program is operating against
expected outputs and to allow remedial intervention to
correct failures. Situation monitoring measures the change
or lack of change, in a condition or a set of conditions and
includes monitoring of the wider context. Performance
monitoring, on the other hand, measures progress in
achieving specific results in relation to an implementation
plan. Evaluation is a systematic and objective assessment
that attempts to determine the worth or significance of an
intervention, strategy, or policy. It is used to appraise
the effectiveness of an intervention to determine if it
meets its goals, to estimate its results or impact, and to
identify its costs vs. its benefits. Promote optimal
breastfeeding practices. Provide all pregnant women with
daily iron-folic acid supplements for at least six months.
Provide deforming treatment to pregnant women,
preschool-aged children, and school-aged children in areas
where hookworms or soil-transmitted helminthes are
prevalent. Establish strong links between agricultural, food
security, social protection and nutrition policies that can
be used to inform a robust communication program regarding
maternal diet and critical infant and young child feeding
practices. Support diversified agricultural production to
increase availability of nutrient-dense foods, particularly
those of animal sources. |
