The Ministry of Social Development and Inclusion (MIDIS) is responsible for the interdepartmental and intersectoral coordination of the National Strategy for Social Development and Inclusion “Inclusion for Growth” (ENDIS), which encourage the coordination of programmes and interventions against undernutrition within two strategic axes: Infant Nutrition and Early Childhood Development.
This coordination promoted by the MIDIS is evidenced by the signing of agreements. The Lamay-Cusco agreement of October 2013 was signed by five sectors (Health, Education, Housing, Women and Vulnerable groups, Development and Social Inclusion) and decentralised bodies (regional authorities and municipalities) which have set 2016 national targets for the reduction of chronic child undernutrition by 10%, the prevalence of Anaemia by 20%, and the increase of access to early education, water and sanitation by 85%. Peru also have others coordination experiences such as the Initiative against Child Undernutrition, made up by nongovernmental organisations and international organisations, United Nations agencies, donors and the Roundtable for the Fight against Poverty.
