Intercambio de personas por dinero: Remesas y Repatriación en Centroamérica
October 2012
En parte, los $10 mil millones enviados en remesas anualmente a Centroamérica podrían ser canalizados para apoyar proyectos productivos en comunidades emisoras de migrantes; pero la actual falta de marco político y conocimiento técnico son barreras. Las agencias de desarrollo de los EE.UU. están listas para facilitar los usos productivos de remesas a nivel tanto de política como de programa en cooperación con los gobiernos anfitriones y el sector privado.
Ending Hunger in the United States
Number 21 (March 2013)
With effective leadership and the right strategies, the United States could end domestic hunger within 10 years. The nation still has hungry people simply because national, state, and local leaders in government have not made the problem a top priority.
Implementing Nutrition-Sensitive Development: Reaching Consensus
Number 20 (November 2012)
Currently, there are varying definitions of nutrition-sensitive development. A common definition and measurement methods will facilitate nutrition investments, help coordinate efforts, and gather evidence on how best to improve nutrition through existing pathways.
Scaling Up Global Nutrition: Bolstering U.S. Government Capacity
Number 19 (July 2012)
U.S. leadership has helped build a global movement to scale up nutrition, and U.S. health and food security investments have increased nutrition programming. Now is a good time for the U.S. government to assess its resources and capacity to support country-led efforts to scale up nutrition and to adopt systems to sustain momentum and progress on nutrition.
Exchanging People for Money: Remittances and Repatriation in Central America
Number 18 (June 2012)

Remittances comprised 17 percent of GDP in Honduras, 16 percent in El Salvador, and 10 percent in Guatemala and they dwarf both foreign direct investment and overseas development assistance.
