Strategic evaluation of the Food and Nutrition Security Plan of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil

ABSTRACT Objective A strategic analysis was carried out in order to verify the relevance of the Food and Nutrition Security Plan of the state of Santa Catarina to the Brazilian concept of Food and Nutrition Security. Methods A matrix containing 7 dimensions, 16 sub-dimensions and 35 indicators was used for the evaluation, which were evaluated as poor, regular, good and excellent for each component. Results The Plan was evaluated as being of good relevance to its objective. However, it was only relevant to 53% of the analyzed dimensions, and the dimension of promoting universal access to adequate food had the worst result. The dimensions of developing permanent processes of education, research and training, and of evaluation and monitoring, obtained the best results, with the Plan being evaluated as of good relevance to these dimensions. Still, for half of the sub-dimensions and for 60% of the analyzed indicators, the Plan was evaluated as poor or regular. Conclusion It is hoped that the results of this research can qualify the Plan researched, as well as stimulate reflections for the construction of Plans in the other Brazilian states.

摘要
研究目的 本研究开展战略分析，旨在验证圣卡塔琳娜州粮食与营养安全计划（Food and Nutrition Security Plan）是否契合巴西版粮食与营养安全（Food and Nutrition Security）概念。
研究方法 本研究采用包含7个维度、16个子维度与35项指标的评估矩阵开展评定工作，各评估组分按劣、合格、良好、优秀四个等级进行评分。
研究结果 该计划整体相关性评价为良好，但仅在53%的分析维度中具备相关性。其中，“推广全民获取充足食物”维度得分最差；而“构建教育、研究与培训长效机制”及“评估与监测”维度得分最优，本计划在这两类维度上的相关性评价为良好。此外，针对半数子维度与60%的分析指标，该计划的评定结果均为劣或合格。
研究结论 本研究结果可助力优化完善本次评估的粮食与营养安全计划，同时期望能为巴西其他各州制定同类粮食与营养安全计划提供思考借鉴。
