Disaster management strategies play a crucial role in mitigating the adverse impacts of disasters on nutrition outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations. This paper presents a comparative analysis of disaster management strategies and their impact on nutrition outcomes in the USA and Nigeria. Drawing from a comprehensive review of literature, the paper examines the frameworks, policies, and practices of disaster management in both countries, with a specific focus on the integration of nutrition considerations. In the USA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) leads disaster response efforts, whereas in Nigeria, disaster management is coordinated by various government agencies and stakeholders. Despite differences in organizational structures, both countries face challenges in effectively addressing nutrition needs during and after disasters. Socio-economic and cultural factors further influence nutrition outcomes, highlighting the importance of context-specific approaches. The comparative analysis reveals disparities in disaster management infrastructures and capacities, with implications for nutrition outcomes. Based on the findings, the paper identifies lessons learned and provides recommendations for enhancing nutrition-sensitive disaster management practices in both countries. These recommendations emphasize the importance of strengthening coordination mechanisms, integrating nutrition into disaster preparedness plans, and addressing socio-economic determinants of nutrition vulnerability. The study underscores the significance of cross-country learning and collaboration to address the complex challenges at the intersection of disaster management and nutrition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
