About
Overview:The Joint Programme has been able to reach a large number of families in Totonicapán through a holistic and integrated approach to chronic malnutrition that was inclusive of aspects such as agricultural extension, behaviour change communication, learning about food security and nutrition, improving productive schemes and diversification of the production, learning how to capitalize on the returns from the investments made. Among the families that diversified their food production and consumption habits through the JP, the prevalence of chronic malnutrition decreased by 4% compared to the baseline in the same group of families. The JP was successful in including to a large extent the local and municipal actors from the various ministries (Agriculture, Health) plus the municipal commission in a positive and constructive manner that ensured the support to the JP. It was more difficult to include the national level structures, particularly health, as other activities were given priority. However the support given to the families through the development of local networks and alliances across a range of actors, including private sector operators, allowed for the achievement of the project objectives. A major achievement was the use of municipal and community-based promoters who advocated and disseminated information regarding the multi-dimensional causes of malnutrition, and the need to understand better based on the local context the drivers of chronic malnutrition. The success of the JP in this approach is shown by the fact that a similar approach is going to be extended in a first phase to 30 additional municipalities, and to 66 in a second phase, after the end of the JP.
