Informed by the national zero hunger strategic review and consultations with government partners, the country strategic plan has four strategic outcomes, which address hunger gaps identified in Nicaragua: Strategic outcome 1: People in targeted areas who are living in poverty or vulnerable to food insecurity have access to adequate nutritious food all year round by 2023. Strategic outcome 2: Vulnerable communities and smallholder farmers in targeted areas benefit from sustainable food systems and have strengthened capacities to cope with shocks, climate change and natural hazards by 2023. Strategic outcome 3: National institutions have improved capacities to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment and to incorporate gender-transformative approaches into programmes, contributing to the achievement of zero hunger by 2023. Strategic outcome 4: Populations affected by shocks have access to adequate and nutritious food during and after an emergency.
