Our intervention

Action Against Hunger expanded its coverage in Venezuela in 2022, reaching new communities in different regions and increasing our comprehensive multisectoral approach to health, nutrition, food security, WASH, gender, and protection.

In the area of WASH, we helped to improve access to safe water through the rehabilitation of community systems and health centres, including sanitation systems in health centres, and supported thousands of people with training in good practices for the safe treatment and storage of water, and handwashing.

When it came to livelihoods, we supported families to create home gardens, helped indigenous women to develop small production initiatives, strengthened the technical and soft skills of entrepreneurs and distributed agricultural assets. We also worked on the prevention of gender-based violence, and to encourage greater male participation in domestic and care work.

Action Against Hunger also standardised reporting and data collection to improve quality and coherence, while improving our feedback system.
