Operational Updates
- We signed the agreement for the SDG Project with the Ministry of Rural Development and Lands (MDRyT), securing funding from UN Headquarters in New York to strengthen food systems and empower smallholder farmers in the Bolivian Amazon. As project lead, WFP will coordinate implementation alongside ILO, FAO, and IFAD.
- At the invitation of the School Complementary Feeding Unit (UNACE) of the La Paz Municipality, we visited three school gardens that actively engage parents, students, teachers, and municipal technical staff. These initiatives serve as models of urban resilience, and our visit strengthened our collaboration with the municipality, opening discussions on future joint urban resilience projects to reinforce food security and nutrition of children.
- On February 12, we met with the Vice Minister of Equal Opportunities, Miriam Huacani, to discuss strategies for protecting women and Indigenous populations during emergency situations. WFP staff shared experiences and best practices to ensure the protection of the affected people in these contexts, as well as our community feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement.
- At the invitation of the Ministry of Rural Development and Lands (MDRyT), WFP participated in the technical working group for the development of the National Agroecology Strategy 2025-2035. We contributed valuable insights on sustainable food systems, climate resilience, and community-based agricultural practices, reinforcing our technical expertise in food security and rural development.
