About
OverviewThe Joint Programme aims to contribute to the overall improvement of the food security and nutritional status of children and women in indigenous municipalities of Benjamin Constant, São Paulo de Olivença and Tabatinga, the Alto Rio Solimões (Amazonas) and Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul). Both regions are characterized by concentration of indigenous peoples, and special challenges in terms of access to rights for Indigenous women and children, in particular access to health care and adequate food. The Joint Programme’s strategy aims to increased access to services and strengthen public policies in line with cultural aspects of the target population. All proposed activities sought to increase in the provision of food security, nutrition and health through the empowerment of indigenous peoples. Project activities also include strengthening the institutional capacity of public authorities and indigenous organizations to support the establishment of intersectoral networks and social participation. Outcome 1, improved food security and nutritional status of children and women in the region of Alto Solimões (Amazonas) and the municipality of Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul), absorbed more than half of the total project budget. These actions had a major focus on health (increased access to public health policies), child care (exchange of knowledge and practices of child care) and nutrition (increased production, access to and consumption of healthy foods with recognition of indigenous production systems), and its implementation was based on ethnicity and culture of indigenous peoples. The most outstanding achievements included: small improvement of the nutritional status of children under five years including a decrease in low weight (from 6.07% to 5.87%) and nutritional risk (from 12.16% to 11%); Strengthening of Indigenous health services with a focus on staff training and the provision of materials for nutritional surveillance; Survey of food security and nutrition needs in the four municipalities to aligning the programme activities to needs; Knowledge exchange between indigenous and non-indigenous on childcare practices to strengthen family skills and enrich local knowledge with scientific information; workshops to incorporate an indigenous perspective and identify gaps in the National Humanization Policy ( NHP ) of the Ministry of Health; ethnic mapping to evaluate the productive capacities, agricultural traditions, income generation and natural resources needed to maintain sustainable livelihoods and food security in the indigenous communities; school gardens as well as exchange between children of different communities to address issues of prejudice and violence. Outcome 2 sought to promote the empowerment of indigenous peoples, their leaders and organizations. All activities were based on the social participation of indigenous peoples and respect for their traditions, cultures and ethnic references. Activities included: Participation of indigenous peoples in instances of social control; translation and dissemination of the 169 Convention on Indigenous and Tribal peoples; Strengthening social participation of young indigenous people in the media. Under the last outcome the JP produced a large number of diagnostic reports on the characterization of indigenous communities in the four municipalities of the program. Other successful actions directly related to this result include: Diagnosis of perceived rights of Indigenous women and children; Articulation of policies for the integration of Child Protection Network for indigenous peoples; Strengthening of the indigenous SISVAN (Surveillance System Food and Nutrition).
