Sustainable intensification of production in Central America
Regional technical cooperation project focused on the sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Central American Dry Corridor through the incorporation of sorghum genotypes and other forage cereals adapted to different environments. The project aims to increase productivity, sustainability, and resilience of production systems through climate and soil characterization, genotype evaluation, development of an online platform with recommendations, and knowledge transfer to farmers, agricultural technicians, advisors, and students.
Strengthening Strategic Capacities for Water Security in Prioritized Watersheds of the SICA Region
The project aims to contribute to water security in prioritized watershed territories of the SICA region by producing technical diagnostic studies, cost-of-inaction/benefit-of-action analyses (BACI), and strategic water investment plans with bankable project profiles per watershed. It operates in 8 watersheds across 8 countries —Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and the Dominican Republic— incorporating gender, intercultural, and climate risk perspectives
Strategy for Technological Innovation to Improve the Productivity and Competitiveness of Supply Chains in Central America and the Dominican Republic
PRESICA developed a regional agricultural innovation model based on Local Innovation Consortia, which bring together producers, research institutes, universities, NGOs, and the private sector around value chains for corn, beans, cassava, and sweet peppers. The strategy was grounded in producers’ technological needs to drive research, technology validation, technology transfer, and extension services with a territorial focus. The project operated in eight Central American countries and the Dominican Republic, forming 22 local consortia. It contributed to strengthening national and regional agricultural innovation systems as a public good.

Law No. 1274: Absorption of the Nicaraguan Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) by the Ministry of Agriculture (MAG)
Law No. 1274 provides for the absorption of the Nicaraguan Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) by Nicaragua's Ministry of Agriculture (MAG), transferring all functions, assets, rights and obligations of the Institute to the Ministry and terminating INTA's legal personality. The Law amends Article 24 of Law No. 290 on the Organization, Competence and Procedures of the Executive Branch to incorporate among MAG's responsibilities the formulation of agricultural development policies, plans and strategies; identification of demand for credit and technological assistance; implementation and coordination of public agricultural technology generation and transfer programmes; promotion of scientific and technological research and training; formulation of policies on the distribution, ownership and use of State rural lands; and coordination with environmental and water authorities on soil and water conservation programmes. The Law also transfers INTA's movable and immovable property, records, systems, laboratories, financial assets, personnel and budget to MAG and repeals Decree No. 22-93 creating INTA and all its amendments.
Sanitary Authorization for Bolivian Beef Exports to Paraguay
Bolivia secured authorization to export beef to Paraguay, expanding market access for its meat sector. The authorization is based on compliance with sanitary and food safety requirements verified by Bolivia’s National Service for Agricultural Health and Food Safety and Paraguay’s National Service for Animal Quality and Health. The article states that three Bolivian meatpacking plants met the requirements needed to enter the Paraguayan market after almost two years of negotiations, and that both countries are moving toward a broader bilateral agreement to facilitate meat product trade.
SINAPRED National Contingency and Institutional Response Plan
National contingency and institutional response plan of SINAPRED in Nicaragua, aimed at agroclimatic risk management and coordination of actions by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAGFOR) in response to extreme events associated with the El Niño phenomenon. The instrument establishes mechanisms for prevention, mitigation, productive rehabilitation, early warning systems, and interinstitutional coordination to reduce the vulnerability of the agricultural sector and strengthen the resilience of agri-food systems against droughts, floods, and other climate-related threats.

Development of competitive livestock production systems with low GHG emissions in Central America
The project develops and validates methodologies to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in dual-purpose livestock systems in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama, combining indirect analyses based on IPCC (2006) guidelines with experimental studies in pastures and direct measurements of enteric methane. By classifying farms according to their level of intensification, the initiative assesses CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emissions, their relationship with productivity, and key economic factors, demonstrating that farms with improved forage management and supplementation generate lower emissions per unit of product. In addition to producing local emission factors and more accurate Tier 2 calculation tools, the project strengthens producer capacities through training activities, promoting sustainable and competitive livestock systems with low GHG emissions.
