This has improved the process of data entry for the municipality and the department; furthermore, there has been a reduction of human errors in the tabulation and validation of data that was previously done in Excel format. The nutritionist added that the socialization of information to decision-makers is a strategic action because it leads to informed decisions.<\/p><p>According to Gabriela Ogaldes, a nutrition specialist with the PiNN project, the monthly implementation of the tool has reduced the preparation process to three steps and three hours per month, which previously consisted of seven steps and meant an investment of 24 working hours per month. \"With this tool, the Ministry of Health achieves considerable economic savings in labor hours, allowing the nutrition professional to invest time in generating information analysis and attending to the users of health services,\" Ogaldes added.<\/p><p>Ogaldes mentioned that these processes improve data governance, provide inputs, allow the identification of situations, places, and populations to improve interventions. Moreover, the socialization of information involves other sectors responsible for food security and nutrition, thereby fostering coordination between institutions and addressing the multicausality of malnutrition problems.<\/p><p><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"542\" data-id=\"25069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan3-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan3-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan3-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan3-600x383.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"383\" data-id=\"25070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan4-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan4-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan4-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nutricion-Totonicapan4-600x270.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><\/figure><p><\/p><p>The PiNN project is executed by CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center), funded by the European Union in Guatemala, and has supported the creation of computer tools that assist in the automation of information processes for food security and nutrition.<\/p><p><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>More information:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Gabriela Ogaldes<br>Nutrition Specialist<br>PiNN Project<br>CATIE Guatemala<br><a href=\"mailto:gabriela.ogaldes@catie.ac.cr\">gabriela.ogaldes@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong> Written by:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Ninoshka Lou<br>Communicator<br>PiNN Project<br>CATIE Guatemala<br><a href=\"mailto:ninoshka.lou@catie.ac.cr\">ninoshka.lou@catie.ac.cr<\/a>\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 de febrero 2024.
