| description |
This framework for action was developed
to support the inclusion of nutritional considerations in
the design of water operations and to help formulate
nutrition-enhancing water policy. Chronic undernutrition
early in life can cause cognitive and physical impairments
that prevent children from achieving their full potential
and have lasting consequences on the human capital that is
essential for economies of the future to be competitive. The
authors present an integrated water and nutrition framework
to aid in understanding the various ways that water impacts
early child nutrition, drawing on the three dimensions of
water security: water quantity, adequate supply of water
resources; water quality, water that is free of
contamination; and water accessibility, reliable
availability to all people, economies, and ecosystems. Each
of these in turn affects the underlying drivers of poor
nutrition outcomes in children. Challenges associated with
water-related conflict and water resources in the context of
fragility cuts across each of the drivers of undernutrition.
The framework complements guidance notes that describe the
evidence of how water sector investments across irrigation,
water management, and water supply and sanitation impact
early child nutrition and summarize recommendations on how
to design interventions for greater impact. |
