Area of Science:

  • Public Health Nutrition
  • Health Policy Analysis
  • Food Security Studies

Context:

  • The Colombian Food and Nutrition National Plan (FNNP) from 1996-2005 aimed to address national nutritional challenges.
  • Evaluating the effectiveness and implementation of national nutrition policies is crucial for public health.
  • Understanding stakeholder perceptions is key to policy refinement.

Purpose:

  • To assess the Colombian Food and Nutrition National Plan (FNNP) policy using key informants (KIs), including policy-makers and civil servants.
  • To evaluate the perceived success of nutritional policies, food security integration, and organizational variables within the FNNP.
  • To quantify stakeholder assessments using a Position Index (PI).

Summary:

  • A descriptive cross-sectional survey of 77 key informants (17 policy-makers, 60 civil servants) assessed the FNNP.

Related Experiment Videos

  • 79% of KIs agreed the policy needed readjustment (PI = 0.50-0.54).
  • Significant disagreement existed regarding institutional coordination (PI = 0.33 for policy-makers, 0.75 for civil servants) and research strategy effectiveness (PI = 0.73).

    • Impact:

    • Findings suggest that while a nutritional policy existed, it requires significant readjustment ten years post-implementation.
    • Optimizing coordination and research strategies is essential for achieving the FNNP's objectives.
    • This study provides insights for improving future national nutrition policy formulation and implementation in Colombia.
