Evaluación nutricional

La División de Nutrición y Sistemas Alimentares ofrece su experiencia para apoyar a los países en la recopilación, armonización y difusión de información de alta calidad sobre la dieta y la nutrición. En este ámbito, mejoramos los instrumentos de evaluación; desarrollamos las capacidades de los países para recopilar datos; y trabajamos para desarrollar una plataforma mundial que proporciona acceso libre a la información de nutrición basada en los alimentos específicos de cada país.
