Abstract

An evaluation is made of some aspects of the Proyecto Piloto de Nutrición, Alimentación y Salud, a Pilot program for Nutrion, Food and Health of the Mexican Government (PNAS). We give a brief description of the Project and characteristics of the target population. We then describe and use the FGT Index to determine if the communities included in the Project were correctly chosen. We describe the method of cost-effectiveness analysis used in this article. The procedure for specifying cost-effectiveness ratios is next presented, and their application to measure the impact of PNAS on Food Expenditures carried out. Finally we present empirical results that show that, among other results, PNAS increased Food Expenditures of the participating households by 7.3% in the Ixtlera Zone and by 4.3% in the Otomí Mazahua Zone, at a cost of N$40.9 for each, respectively.// Este artículo evalúa algunos aspectos del Proyecto Piloto de Nutrición, Alimentación y Salud (PNAS). Describe brevemente el Proyecto y presenta las características de la población beneficiaria,luego profundiza en el problema de la pobreza y a partir de un índice se evalúa la selección de las comunidades beneficiadas por el Proyecto. Posteriormente se describe la metodología uzada en el análisis costo-efectividad y se da el procedimiento para el cálculo de los cocientes del efecto que tuvo el PNAS específicamente en el gasto en alimentos. Por último, se presentan las conclusiones que, entre otros aspectos, arrojan que el efecto del PNAS en el gasto en alimentos de las familias indujo un incremento del gasto de 7.3% en la zona ixtlera y de 4.3% en la zona otomí-mazahua, con un costo de 29.9 nuevos pesos (de 1991) y de 40.9 para cada una de las zonas, respectivamente.
