Abstract:

The aim of this study was to analyze the organization of the department for management of actions of food and nutrition in the municipalities of Mato Grosso do Sul. This is a descriptive-exploratory study carried out in Mato Grosso do Sul, in which each municipal food and nutrition manager answered about their profile, performance, governance and financing. Data analysis used frequency, chi-square test and decision tree. All participated (n=79), most participants were female (92.4%), white (62%), nurses (45.6%) or nutritionists (36.7%). Financial management proved to be so incipient in the state that specific funding for the area was neglected. The absence of a technical area in the municipality\'s organizational chart was consistent with the lack of knowledge of actions, goals and resource allocation; their presence coincided with having formally appointed technical managers, municipal food and nutrition policy, goals and the elaboration of specialized materials. The present study also proposed a decision tree pointing that having a nutritionist in the team had a positive impact. The failures found in this study partly clarify the causes of the unsettling situation in the state and, thus, can support the creation of intervention strategies.
