CA-3-P010268001 2026-07-10T06:32:42 March 2021 - The ongoing economic crisis in Venezuela has resulted in severe food and fuel shortages, record hyperinflation and the collapse of the healthcare system. Essential items, such as food and medicine, are out of reach for over 7 million people. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the situation has further declined due to border closures, weakened economic activity, and increasing demands on the health system already struggling. As the situation continues to deteriorate in Venezuela, vulnerable and crisis-affected populations require critical live-saving assistance, including primary healthcare, water, sanitation services, hygiene kits, as well as food and nutrition assistance. With GAC's support, this project helps address the essential protection and nutrition needs of up to 43,500 crisis-affected children, adolescents, and pregnant women in the region. Project activities include: (1) providing nutritional assistance and nutrition counselling session to crisis-affected people and healthcare providers; (2) providing training on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse to local organizations and communities; and (3) facilitating peer group counselling sessions to mitigate and respond to child and gender-based violence protection risks.
