Resumen

In 2006, the Government of Bolivia expressed its strong political will to eradicate malnutrition by repositioning the National Food and Nutrition Council (CONAN), with the objective to promote the development and implementation of the National Policy on Food and Nutrition Sovereignty and Security, focused on the implementation of the human rights to adequate food and the eradication of malnutrition. CONAN prepared this Multi-Sectoral Zero Malnutrition Programme (PMD-C) to be implemented at the municipal level with support of the departmental and municipal governments, civil society organizations, NGOs and international cooperation agencies. The lifespan of the PMD-C is of five years, from 2007 to 2011. The overall objective of the PMD-C is to eradicate malnutrition, in children under five years of age, by implementing comprehensive interventions, strengthening the multi-sectoral structure and functionality at the departmental and municipal levels, establishing transparent mechanisms for evaluating and monitoring the multi-sectoral interventions, and strengthening the capacity and community involvement. The PMD-C has the following four objectives: a) increase access of the population to health, nutrition, education, water and sanitation services, as well as the availability of food, while strengthening social and productive assets; b) contribute to the availability, access, and use of adequate nutritious foods to reduce malnutrition, through the National Strategic Program on Food Security and Sovereignty; c) improve eating habits and consumption practices, and health care practices of children under five years of age, and pregnant and breastfeeding women; d) contribute to the realization of the human right to adequate food of the population, promoting inter-institutional coordination, and the formulation and implementation of legal regulatory instruments.
