Inspiring the shift from nutrition policy to implementation: how existing data can support nutrition decision-making in Guatemala

This brief analyses Guatemala’s progress in implementing multisectoral stunting reduction strategies, specifically the National Strategy for the Prevention of Chronic Malnutrition (ENPDC) 2016-2020. It demonstrates the potential of the National Information Platforms for Nutrition (NIPN) approach for tracking country-level progress and informing decisions using existing data. It is based on a larger national report published in Spanish in Guatemala, used ahead of the 2019 elections to advocate for better implementation of nutrition actions and, where appropriate, to consider adjustments to implementation or budget allocation.
