Strengthen the mechanisms for updating, homologation and sustainability of the registry and the nominal list of girls and boys under 6 years of age, with the participation of all the country's districts

During early childhood, risks, factors, and effects occur and accumulate that act from before conception and extend beyond adulthood. The Early Childhood Development guidelines include seven outcomes, two of which are related to nutritional status, considering three conditions: i) Chronic malnutrition or stunting of the child; ii) micronutrient deficiency; iii) and overweight and obesity.

In the framework of the Results-Oriented Budgetary Program for Early Childhood Development (PPoR-DIT), a birth is considered healthy when it meets two conditions: not being premature and having an appropriate weight (between 2,500 and 4,000 grams). To achieve this, it aims to obtain positive results for the pregnant woman, including improving her health and nutrition, reducing adverse lifestyles, improving her emotional state and reducing violence.

For its part, to improve the nutritional status of girls and boys it is expected to improve the health and nutrition of the newborn, the adoption of healthy practices by mothers with children under 24 months (EBF, complementary feeding, hand washing), prevention and care for infectious and immuno-preventable diseases (diarrhea, ARI, anemia) and appropriate environmental conditions (water suitable for human consumption, firm floors, improved kitchen, adequate sanitary disposal of excreta).

Through Supreme Decree No. 003-2019-MIDIS, the Territorial Management Strategy "First for Children" (EGTPI) was approved, with three components: 1) intersectoral and intergovernmental articulation; 2) sectorization for the organization of the territory, the mapping of boys and girls under 5 years of age and services; and 3) nominal follow-up of each pregnant woman, boy and girl (up to 5 years of age) to the services included in the integrated package

Have a registry of children under 6 years of age, from all over the country, consolidated in an authenticated database, of a dynamic nature that is permanently updated; provides information on the number of boys and girls with which the access of the child to the different services provided by the state is promoted, as well as allows analyzing the gap not covered by these, thus contributing to the exercise of fundamental rights reducing inequalities.

As part of the plan will include:

1. Strengthen territorial management to generate greater participation by local governments in updating nominal monitoring.

2. Promote the inclusion of budget programming criteria for activities to update and maintain the nominal register.
