In Paraguay, the effects of COVID-19, rising costs of living and a historic three-year-long drought have led to some of the highest poverty rates in the region. ⁠ ⁠ With around 70% of the population dependent on agriculture as their main source of income, extreme weather events combined with the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic resulted in food scarcity and left many families lacking basic nutrition.⁠ ⁠ To overcome this, we’re supporting the Ministry of Social Development to enhance food security by providing kits for family-owned vegetable gardens. ⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for more⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ En Paraguay, los efectos de la COVID-19, el incremento del costo de la vida y una sequía histórica de tres años de duración han provocado que se registren algunos de los índices de pobreza más elevados de la región. ⁠ ⁠ Dado que en torno al 70% de la población depende de la agricultura como su principal fuente de ingresos, la combinación de fenómenos meteorológicos extremos con los efectos socioeconómicos de la pandemia ha ocasionado escasez de alimentos y ha privado a muchas familias de una nutrición básica.⁠ ⁠ Para poner fin a esta situación, UNOPS apoya al Ministerio de Desarrollo Social con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad alimentaria mediante el suministro de kits con los que las familias pueden cultivar sus propias huertas. ⁠ ⁠ Haz clic en el enlace en la bio para saber más.⁠ ⁠ @mdsparaguay | @itaipuparaguay ⁠ ⁠ #NacionesUnidas #ONU #Paraguay #ODS #ObjetivosMundiales #UNOPS #paraguay GlobalGoals⁠
