Descripción
FAO Colombia, in response to the humanitarian emergency in the department of La Guajira caused by the migration and extreme drought crisis, implemented a series of actions in five municipalities, which had a rapid and undeniable impact on food security and social cohesion, benefitting more than 7 000 men, women and children: for each dollar invested, the participating families were able to generate income of USD 2.60 and increased their resilience. The La Guajira project is part of FAO’s Early Warning Early Action System (EWEA), and was co-financed by the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) through FAO’s Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA), as well as by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) and the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).
