VOA常速英语2017--美国助力海地改善营养状况

（单词翻译）

Haitians will get a boost in nutrition thanks to a joint¹ program between United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, and government of Haiti. On July 21st, U.S. Charge d'Affaires Brian Shukan joined with Haiti's Ministry² of Health, USAID, and RANFOSE, the first food fortification project of Haiti.

海地人民的营养情况将有大幅改善，因为美国国际开发署(USAID)与海地政府之间联合开展了一个项目。7月21日，美国临时代办布莱恩(Brian Shukan)与海地卫生部、美国国际开发署一道加入了RANFOSE项目，这是海地第一个加强粮食供给的项目。

RANFOSE will increase the availability of high-quality, fortified³ staple⁴ foods across the country and expand the local production and importation of fortified foods.

RANFOSE将让海地各地可以更加容易地获得高质量、经营养强化的主食，增加当地粮食产量和优质粮食的进口量。

The project will work with the private sector⁵, including local food producers and importers, to ensure the market viability⁶ 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-being⁷ of children, mothers, and other individuals.

该项目将与私营部门合作，包括当地的粮食生产者和进口方，以确保市场前景，在全国范围内惠及更多人群，布莱恩如是说道。RANFOSE项目直接助力海地政府牵头提升营养、卫生、食品安全情况的工作，根据是海地政府《2013-2018年营养战略规划》。该项目旨在减少微量营养素缺乏的情况，而微量营养素对儿童、母亲等人群的健康幸福至关重要。

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 Consensus⁸ 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 fortifying⁹ wheat flour with iron and folic acid, vegetable oils with vitamin A, and salt with iodine¹⁰. USAID will work with Partners of the Americas and Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition to implement¹¹ this $4 million four-year health and nutrition project.

一年多以来，美国国际开发署一直在与卫生部和其他伙伴合作，比如联合国儿童基金会，目的是强化营养供给。在最近发布的一项由加拿大使馆做经费支持的研究中，哥本哈根共识中心将强化营养，尤其是面粉中加入铁元素的做法称为对海地发展最有效的投资方式。RANFOSE项目将专注于在面粉中加入铁元素和维生素B，在植物油中加入维生素A，在盐中加入碘。美国国际开发署将与美洲和全球营养改善联盟的多个伙伴一道合作，开展这个为期4年，投入400万美元的卫生营养项目。

USAID is devoted¹² to working closely with the Haitian Government to ensure the sustainability of these joint efforts to improve the nutritional¹³ status of the entire population. Additional programs, in which USAID collaborates¹⁴ with the Government of Haiti to promote nutrition and combat malnutrition¹⁵, include a food pyramid guide for consuming nutritious¹⁶ local foods and a voucher¹⁷ safety net program to increase access to locally-produced foods among vulnerable households.

美国国际开发署致力于与海地政府密切合作，以确保这些合力工作的持续开展，提升海地人民的营养状况。美国国际开发署还与海地政府合作了其他一些项目，也是为了提升营养状况，减少营养不良的情况。其中包括根据当地营养食物种类制定了一份食物金字塔指南，开展了一个安全网项目，让营养不良的家庭可以更多地获得当地生产的食物。

The U.S. is proud to work with its partner Haiti to help the people of Haiti meet their important nutrition needs.

美国很骄傲能与海地成为合作伙伴，帮助海地人民满足其至关重要的营养需求。
