Resumen

Descripción

The objectives of the nutrition sensitive social protection are: 1) target activities to the most nutritionally vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children less than 24 months; 2) include nutrition education and counseling activities within social protection interventions to increase household awareness of care giving and health seeking behaviors; 3) integrate nutrition services into Social Protection (SP) interventions; and 4) reduce the acute and long-term negative financial impacts of external financial, price, and weather shocks by scaling up programs in times of crises and by targeting shock-affected areas. This guidance note aims to assist World Bank and other program staff in maximizing the nutrition impacts of health investments and policies, with a special focus on under nutrition among women and children under two years of age in developing economies. The strong synergies between health and nutrition are highlighted and key evidence-based nutrition interventions that can be delivered through the health sector are presented. Implementing such interventions is cost-effective and can achieve large reductions in morbidity, mortality, and under nutrition, furthering health sector goals. The main nutrition-related objectives that fall within the health sector are outlined in the box below. Evidence-based interventions to address each objective, along with implementation considerations, are presented as options to integrate nutrition interventions in health investment and policies. To date, the scaling up nutrition framework has been endorsed by over 100 partners worldwide and 30 developing countries have committed to scaling up nutrition. Leaders of these countries are prioritizing nutrition as an investment in their people's growth, and recognizing nutrition as an investment in economic and social development to strengthen their nations.
Actualmente, la comunidad global coincide con la idea de que aumentar la inversión nutricional acelerará los avances en una gama de los Objetivos del Milenio, en especial la pobreza, la educación y la salud materno-infantil. La inversión nutricional apoyará los esfuerzos de reducción de la pobreza y tiene la posibilidad de aumentar el PIB de los países en desarrollo en un mínimo del 2-3 por ciento. Acelerar los avances en los ODM para 2015, en consecuencia, requiere inversiones urgentes en nutrición. El desafío actual es traducir el alto nivel de consenso y compromiso político nacional e internacional y la evidencia disponible para plasmarlo en acciones específicamente nutricionales —aplicadas primordialmente a través del sector de salud— y acciones con sensibilidad nutricional a ser implementadas por otros varios sectores. Este informe ofrece los fundamentos para la acción multisectorial, brindando la justificación global de tales acciones y la orientación programática necesaria para incorporar acciones nutricionales en las inversiones del Banco Mundial y sus socios en las áreas de reducción de la pobreza, agricultura, protección social y salud.
Ce rapport répond à la demande, formulée par la communauté du développement en général, de directives opérationnelles susceptibles de maximiser l’impact des investissements sur les résultats nutritionnels, particulièrement chez les femmes et les jeunes enfants. L’importance de la présence de directives nutritionnelles a été soulignée par les équipes régionales de la Banque, particulièrement d’Asie du Sud et d’Afrique, lors des rencontres du Conseil consultatif des dirigeants des fondations du Groupe de la Banque mondiale et par le groupe élargi des donateurs partenaires, Scaling up nutrition (SUN). Ce document constitue une première étape vers l’opérationnalisation d’une approche multisectorielle d’amélioration de la nutrition à travers le monde. Les notes d’orientation rassemblées dans cet ouvrage ont été conçues de façon à aider les chefs d’équipe de la Banque mondiale, les donateurs partenaires et les exécutants nationaux à ajuster les interventions actuelles ou à venir de leurs secteurs respectifs afin qu’elles prennent davantage en considération les questions de nutrition et s’organisent autour des thèmes suivants : Contexte logique et stratégique (Module A). Pauvreté, croissance économique, et nutrition (Module B) ; Agriculture, sécurité alimentaire et nutrition (Module C) ; Une protection sociale sensible à la nutrition (Module D) ; Maximiser les impacts nutritionnels du secteur de la santé (Module E).
