Is there a national food security policy with implementation/action?


YES, in 2010, the executive branch approved a National Food and Nutrition Security Strategy and Policy[1]. In 2011, the legislature approved a Food and Nutrition Security Framework Law[2].

These plan are part of a greater “country vision 2010-2038” plan

National Health Plan identifies areas of urgent and necessary change:

-Accelerated increase in access to quality health services

-Increased well-being and health of the majority of the population through the reduction of maternal and child mortality

-Modification of the structure, functioning and response of the current health system

-Incremental decrease in malnutrition rates in children un 5 years old
