Food and Nutritional Security for Children and Salvadoran Households (SANNHOS)

The SANNHOS program is a joint United Nations initiative that seeks to strengthen food and nutritional security in El Salvador, focusing on three municipalities in the Chalatenango department. The program works with 600 vulnerable families to establish sustainable, inclusive and climate-resilient food systems. It strengthens the regulatory framework and governance in FNS at national and local levels with a gender and human rights approach. Interventions include improvements in feeding, nutrition and health practices, especially for children under 5 years old, pregnant women and women of reproductive age. The program promotes active participation of women in training processes and productive enterprises to improve decision-making about family health.
