"Good Start" Program
?Good Start? was a program implemented by UNICEF in the regions of Cusco, Apurímac, Cajamarca and Loreto, aimed at promoting the development of pregnant mothers and children from conception to three years, especially in rural communities, through the methodology of "Participatory Rural Appraisal". Through diagnostics, community monitoring and surveillance systems and the formulation of common goals and measures, this program had a strong impact on the reduction of child malnutrition in the years from 1999 to 2005.
