Resumen
Descripción
Children in Haiti are born into some of
the harshest conditions on the planet, and are left at a
disadvantage in terms of growth, development, and potential
to thrive. Malnutrition rates in Haiti are among the worst
in the Latin America and Caribbean Region. Nearly one-third
of all children under-five suffer from stunted growth and
three quarters of children 6-24 months are anemic.
Malnutrition takes a serious and irreversible toll, making
children more susceptible to disease and death and
compromising their cognitive and physical development, which
results in low human capital and diminished lifetime
earnings. Yet, scaling up ten key nutrition interventions in
Haiti is estimated to cost only $46.5 million per year,
which is less than 1percent of Haiti's total Gross
Domestic Product (GDP).
