VOA常速英语:Nutrition Support for Haiti(翻译)

Haitians will get a boost in nutrition thanks to a joint program between United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, and government of Haiti. On July 21st, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Brian Shukan joined with Haiti’s Ministry of Health, USAID, and RANFOSE, the first food fortification project of Haiti.
海地人民将得到营养物品方面的支持，而这一切都归功于美国国际开发署（USAID）和海地政府之间的一个联合计划。7月21日，美国驻海地临时代办布莱恩同海地卫生部、美国国际开发署、以及海地第一个食品强化项目RANFOSE达成了联合。

RANFOSE will increase the availability of high-quality, fortified staple foods across the country and expand the local production and importation of fortified foods.
RANFOSE将在海地全国提供更多的高质量的强化主食，并扩大该国对强化食品的生产和进口。

“The project will work with the private sector, including local food producers and importers, to ensure the market viability to reach a wide population throughout the country” said Shukan. RANFOSE directly contributes to the Government of Haiti-led efforts to improve the nutrition, health, and food security, per the Government of Haiti’s Nutrition Strategic Plan 2013-2018. The project aims to decrease deficiencies in micronutrients, which play a vital role in the well-being of children, mothers, and other individuals.
“该项目将与私营部门合作，包括当地的食品生产商和进口商，从而保证市场活力，让全国广泛人口都能得到食品，” 布莱恩如是说道。RANFOSE将直接帮助海地政府领导的行动，改善该国人民的营养、健康和食品安全，完成海地政府制定的《2013-2018年营养战略计划》。该项目旨在减少微量元素不足的情况，而微量元素是儿童、妇女和其他人群健康所至关重要的东西。

For over a year, USAID has been working with the Ministry of Health and other partners, such as the United Nation Children’s Fund, to develop a food fortification activity. In a recently released study financed by the Canadian Embassy, the Copenhagen Consensus Center identified food fortification, specifically wheat flour with iron, as one of the most efficient investments in Haiti’s development. The RANFOSE project will focus on fortifying wheat flour with iron and folic acid, vegetable oils with vitamin A, and salt with iodine. USAID will work with Partners of the Americas and Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition to implement this $4 million four-year health and nutrition project.
一年多以来，美国国际开发署一直与海地卫生部、以及包括联合国儿童基金会的其他合作伙伴合作，从而开展食品强化行动。在最近公布的一项由加拿大大使馆资助的研究中，哥本哈根共识研究中心认为食品强化项目，特别是强化小麦粉中的铁元素，是海地发展最为有效的投资项目之一。RANFOSE项目将把重点放在强化小麦粉中的铁元素和叶酸、植物油中的维他命A、以及食盐中的碘元素等等。美国国际开发署将与美洲和全球改善营养联盟的合作伙伴合作，实施这项耗资400万美元、历时4年的健康和营养项目。

USAID is devoted to working closely with the Haitian Government to ensure the sustainability of these joint efforts to improve the nutritional status of the entire population. Additional programs, in which USAID collaborates with the Government of Haiti to promote nutrition and combat malnutrition, include a food pyramid guide for consuming nutritious local foods and a voucher safety net program to increase access to locally-produced foods among vulnerable households.
美国国际开发署将致力于同海地政府进行密切合作，以确保这些联合行动的可持续性，从而改善整个人口的营养状况。美国国际开发署和海地政府合作促进营养、对抗营养不良的其他项目还包括，一个消费本地营养食品的食品金字塔指南、以及一个让脆弱家庭得到更多当地生产食品的凭证安全网络项目。

The U.S. is proud to work with its partner Haiti to help the people of Haiti meet their important nutrition needs.
美国很自豪能同其合作伙伴海地一起合作，帮助海地人民满足重要的营养需求。
