authorities, UN agencies and partners to <strong>promote food security and nutrition for the most vulnerable people,</strong> including rural women and children. </p> <p>In line with SDG 2 targets, <strong>WFP is supporting Guatemalan institutions in their efforts to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition</strong>, through the strengthening of social programmes.

For the prevention of the loss of livelihoods, WFP facilitates early recovery actions such as the implementation of grains reservoirs, water tanks and road recoupment.
