A number of countries in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region have been severely hit by food-price crises in 2008 and are still very vulnerable to food-price volatility experienced since late 2010. Humanitarian responses to high food prices, crises, shocks, or emergency situations should help the poor avoid the consequences of the reduced affordability of a basic food basket. This is especially crucial in the first 1,000 days of life (that is, children from pregnancy until they reach 2 years of age and breastfeeding women), since most of the physical and cognitive damages due to improper nutrition in this period are irreversible. The World Bank is leading a regional study on how to improve LAC country responses so as to protect the nutritional status of the poorest and most vulnerable in times of crises and emergencies.El documento incluye el glosario, las referencias y los anexos del estudio “ Cómo proteger y promover la nutrición de madres y niños”. Numerosos países en la región de Latinoamérica y el Caribe (LAC) han sido afectados severamente por la crisis de los precios de alimentos en el año 2008 y se encuentran todavía vulnerables a la volatilidad de los precios de alimentos de finales del año 2010. Como respuesta a los altos precios de los alimentos, las crisis, shocks o situaciones de emergencia, se debe ayudar rápidamente a los pobres a las consecuencias irreversibles del reducido acceso a la canasta básica de alimentos. El Banco Mundial está llevando a cabo un estudio regional sobre cómo mejorar la respuesta en los países de LAC para proteger el estado nutricional de los más pobres y vulnerables en tiempos de crisis y emergencias. El estudio debe conducir al desarrollo de una guía rápida dirigida a los tomadores de decisión de alto nivel, a la construcción de la capacidad en la región y así compartir el conocimiento regional Sur-Sur.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACUTE MALNUTRITIONADEQUATE SANITATION FACILITIESADOLESCENT GIRLSADOLESCENTSADULT HEALTHAGEDAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONANAEMIAANEMIAANEMIA PREVALENCEBABIESBABYBASIC NEEDSBIRTH DEFECTSBLINDNESSBREAST MILKBREAST-MILKBREASTFEEDINGBREASTFEEDING PRACTICESCAREGIVERSCHILD CARECHILD DEATHSCHILD FEEDINGCHILD FEEDING PRACTICESCHILD GROWTHCHILD HEALTHCHILD MALNUTRITIONCHILD NUTRITIONCHILD STUNTINGCHILD SURVIVALCHILDBIRTHCHILDHOOD MALNUTRITIONCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMPLEMENTARY FEEDINGCOMPLEMENTARY FOODSCOMPLICATIONSCONDOMSCONGENITAL SYPHILISCRIMECYCLE OF POVERTYDELIVERY KITSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIARRHEADIETDIETSDISABILITYDISASTERSDRINKING WATERDRUGSEARLY CHILDHOODEARTHQUAKEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC PROSPERITYELDERLYEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY SITUATIONSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHEPIDEMICSEPIDEMIOLOGYFACT SHEETFAMILIESFOLIC ACIDFOOD INSECURITYFOOD INTAKEFOOD PREPARATIONFOOD PRICESFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLEMENTSGLOBAL ACTIONGLOBAL POLICYGROWTH MONITORINGGYNECOLOGYHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE ACCESSHEALTH CONSEQUENCESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH WORKERSHEALTHY LIFEHIVHIV INFECTIONHIV/AIDSHOSPITALHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMANITARIAN AFFAIRSHUNGERHYGIENEHYGIENE PRACTICESIDDILLNESSINFANTINFANT FEEDINGINFANT FORMULAINFANTSINFECTION PREVENTIONINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINTERNATIONAL COMMITTEEINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGYINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GYNECOLOGYINTERNATIONAL RESPONSEINTERVENTIONIODINEIODINE DEFICIENCYIODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDERSIODINE-DEFICIENCYIRONIRON DEFICIENCYIRON SUPPLEMENTSISOLATIONLACK OF KNOWLEDGELARGE POPULATIONLIMITED NATIONAL RESOURCESLOW BIRTH WEIGHTLOW-INCOME COUNTRYMALARIAMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMARKETINGMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL NUTRITIONMETABOLISMMICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIESMICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCYMICRONUTRIENT MALNUTRITIONMICRONUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTATIONMICRONUTRIENTSMIDWIVESMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINERALMINERALSMINISTRY OF HEALTHMODERATE MALNUTRITIONMORBIDITYMORTALITYMORTALITY RATEMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDMOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSIONNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCESNEONATAL CARENEWBORNNEWBORN CARENEWBORN HEALTHNEWBORNSNURSENURSINGNUTRITIONNUTRITION EDUCATIONNUTRITION INTERVENTIONSNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITION STATUSNUTRITIONAL NEEDSNUTRITIONAL STATUSOBESITYOBSTETRICSOLD CHILDRENORAL REHYDRATION SALTSOVERNUTRITIONPARASITESPEDIATRICSPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPERSONALITYPOLICY CONCERNPOLICY GUIDANCEPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPRACTITIONERSPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPROTEINPUBLIC HEALTHPURCHASING POWERRADIOREFERRAL SYSTEMREFUGEEREFUGEE SETTINGSREPRODUCTIVE AGERESPECTRURAL AREASSAFE DRINKING WATERSAFE MOTHERHOODSAFE MOTHERHOOD INTERVENTIONSSAFE WATERSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSALT IODIZATIONSANITATIONSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCREENINGSKILLED PROFESSIONALSSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSODIUMSTUNTED CHILDSTUNTINGSUGARSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSYPHILISTEENAGE PREGNANCYTELEVISIONUNDERNUTRITIONUNFPAUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDURBAN AREASURBANIZATIONVIOLENCEVITAMINVITAMIN AVITAMIN A DEFICIENCYVITAMIN A SUPPLEMENTATIONVITAMINSVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE FAMILIESVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE GROUPS IN SOCIETYVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWASTINGWEIGHT GAINWORKERSYOUNG CHILDYOUNG CHILDRENWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/23709
