Strengthening local food systems and capacity building aimed at improving the production and access to safe food for families
Description
The SDG Fund programme aims to contribute to the strengthening of local food systems, ensuring better access to safe and nutritious food as well as to the increase of nutrition levels for families under the Ecuador's National Strategy. The programme objectives will be achieved through consolidation of public policy and support for the strengthening of local production. The total budget has reached $3 million and half of it is funded by the SDG-F.
National partners: Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Local Government and Private Sector organizations.
