The main thrust of the guidance is that: (1) policies give special attention to the critical 'window of opportunity' represented by the first 1,000 days of life; (2) policies are aligned with the latest international recommendations in nutrition; (3) policies and interventions of key sectors are coordinated to provide synergy of action; and (4) resources allocated for disaster prevention and emergency management are invested in the most cost-effective way. Monitoring is a continuous process of collecting and analyzing information to better understand how well a program is operating against expected outputs and to allow remedial intervention to correct failures. Situation monitoring measures the change or lack of change, in a condition or a set of conditions and includes monitoring of the wider context. Performance monitoring, on the other hand, measures progress in achieving specific results in relation to an implementation plan. Evaluation is a systematic and objective assessment that attempts to determine the worth or significance of an intervention, strategy, or policy. It is used to appraise the effectiveness of an intervention to determine if it meets its goals, to estimate its results or impact, and to identify its costs vs. its benefits. Promote optimal breastfeeding practices. Provide all pregnant women with daily iron-folic acid supplements for at least six months. Provide deforming treatment to pregnant women, preschool-aged children, and school-aged children in areas where hookworms or soil-transmitted helminthes are prevalent. Establish strong links between agricultural, food security, social protection and nutrition policies that can be used to inform a robust communication program regarding maternal diet and critical infant and young child feeding practices. Support diversified agricultural production to increase availability of nutrient-dense foods, particularly those of animal sources.El documento describe las intervenciones prioritarias en materia de nutrición y los enfoques transversales que son fundamentales para promover y proteger el estado de nutrición de las madres y los niños, así como el capital humano del país a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Las ideas centrales de estas pautas son: al formular las políticas, prestar atención especial a la “oportunidad crítica” que constituyen los primeros 1.000 días de la vida; alinear las políticas con las recomendaciones internacionales más recientes sobre la nutrición; coordinar las políticas y las intervenciones de sectores clave, para obtener sinergias en las acciones; y invertir los recursos asignados a la prevención de desastres y la gestión de emergencias de la manera más eficaz en función de los costos. Estas pautas para la formulación de políticas contienen recomendaciones sobre cómo se deben ejecutar las intervenciones prioritarias en materia de nutrición y los enfoques transversales en situaciones estables, de crisis y de emergencia.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACUTE MALNUTRITIONADEQUATE DIETADOLESCENT GIRLSAGEDAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONANEMIAANEMIA PREVALENCEANTENATAL CAREANTENATAL VISITSBABIESBABYBASIC HUMAN RIGHTBASIC NUTRITIONBIRTH ATTENDANTSBIRTH DEFECTSBLINDNESSBREAST MILKBREAST-MILKBREASTFEEDINGBREASTFEEDING PRACTICESCAREGIVERSCHILD DEATHCHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD FEEDINGCHILD FEEDING PRACTICESCHILD HEALTHCHILD MALNUTRITIONCHILD MORBIDITYCHILD MORTALITYCHILD NUTRITIONCHILDBEARINGCHILDBIRTHCHOLERACHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMPLEMENTARY FEEDINGCOMPLEMENTARY FOODCOMPREHENSIVE CARECONDOMSCULTURAL PRACTICESDELIVERY KITSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIABETESDIARRHEADIETDIETSDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTERSDRUGSEARTHQUAKEEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY OBSTETRIC CAREEMERGENCY SITUATIONSEMOTIONAL SUPPORTEQUITABLE ACCESSESSENTIAL MEDICINESESSENTIAL SUPPLIESEXPOSURE TO VIOLENCEFAMILIESFAMILY MEMBERSFOLIC ACIDFOOD PREPARATIONFOOD SECURITYGIRL CHILDRENHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE ACCESSHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH WORKERSHIVHIV INFECTED MOTHERSHIV INFECTIONHIV/AIDSHOME VISITSHOSPITALHOSPITALSHUMAN CAPITALHYGIENEHYPERTENSIONILLNESSIMMUNIZATIONSINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINFANTINFANT FEEDINGINFANT MORBIDITYINFANT MORTALITYINFECTION PREVENTIONINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFORMATION SYSTEMINTERNATIONAL COMMITTEEINTERVENTIONIODINEIODINE DEFICIENCYIODINE-DEFICIENCYIRONLAWSLEADING CAUSE OF DEATHLOCAL COMMUNITYLOW BIRTH WEIGHTMALARIAMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMARKETINGMASS MEDIAMATERNAL CAREMATERNAL MORBIDITYMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL NUTRITIONMEATMEDICINESMICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIESMICRONUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTATIONMIDWIVESMINISTRY OF HEALTHMINORITYMORBIDITYMORTALITYMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDMOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSIONNATIONAL AUTHORITIESNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICIESNATIONAL PLANSNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONAL POLICYNATURAL DISASTERSNEONATAL MORTALITYNEURAL TUBE DEFECTSNEWBORNNEWBORN CARENEWBORN HEALTHNEWBORN INFANTSNEWBORNSNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNUTRITIONNUTRITION EDUCATIONNUTRITION INFORMATIONNUTRITION INTERVENTIONSNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIESNUTRITIONAL NEEDSNUTRITIONAL STATUSNUTRITIONAL STATUS OF WOMENOBESITYOBSTETRIC COMPLICATIONSOBSTETRIC EMERGENCIESORAL REHYDRATION SALTSORAL REHYDRATION SOLUTIONORPHANSORSPARENTINGPERSONAL HYGIENEPHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTPHYSICAL HEALTHPOLICY GUIDANCEPOPULATION GROUPSPOSTPARTUM CAREPREGNANCIESPREGNANCYPREGNANCY COMPLICATIONSPREGNANCY OUTCOMESPREGNANT WOMANPREGNANT WOMENPROGRESSPROPHYLAXISPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMPURCHASING POWERREFERRAL SYSTEMREFUGEEREFUGEESRELIGIOUS LEADERSREPRODUCTIVE AGEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESRISK OF INFECTIONSAFE CHILDBIRTHSAFE DRINKING WATERSAFE MOTHERHOODSAFE MOTHERHOOD INTERVENTIONSSAFE PREGNANCYSAFE WATERSANITATIONSCREENINGSERVICE PROVIDERSSKILLED ATTENDANTSSKILLED PROFESSIONALSSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL MOBILIZATIONSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL SERVICESTILLBIRTHSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSYPHILISTEENAGE PREGNANCYTETANUSTRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANTSTRANSPORTATIONTRAUMATUBERCULOSISUMBILICAL CORDUNDERNUTRITIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNFPAVICIOUS CYCLEVIOLENCEVITAMIN AVITAMIN A DEFICIENCYVITAMIN A SUPPLEMENTATIONVITAMINSVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWASTEWASTE DISPOSALWOMANWOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGEWORKERSYOUNG CHILDYOUNG CHILDRENWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/23711
