Resumen
Descripción
Much has been learned about the
significance of malnutrition for individuals and for society
as a whole in the past two decades. An adequately nourished
population has a better chance of reaching full intellectual
capacity and economic productivity and enjoying an adequate
quality of life. Experience shows that nutrition
interventions significantly help to reduce malnutrition but
that implementing them is difficult and influenced by
multiple constraints. An overview of the literature of the
past two decades on implementing nutrition activities and
interventions provides insights into the many factors, both
positive and negative, believed to affect this process. The
purpose of this paper is to analyze each factor's
relative importance in the implementation of nutrition
interventions. The findings of this study strongly suggest
that closer attention should be paid to the factors that are
significant in predicting disbursement for nutrition in
World Bank projects.
