Holguin province launched training for the *NutriVida* project. An intersectoral initiative coordinated with the United Nations to consolidate food sovereignty in Cuba through local climate risk management.
Educators, local producers, Social Protection Network administrators, and risk management specialists are aligning strategies to coordinate local food production between the Health and Education sectors. With technical support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP).
Training provided to technicians from the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Environment is refining the use of vulnerability matrices. This scientific tool assesses the exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of municipal agricultural systems. In the face of extreme hydrometeorological events such as droughts, heavy rains, or pest outbreaks.
Against the backdrop of climate change’s impact on the Global South, this training equips local authorities with better tools for early warning. Evidence-based decision-making, and the reduction of production losses in the Cuban agricultural sector.
The activities carried out in Holguin are part of government programs that integrate risk management into municipal development plans. To ensure sustainable access to and availability of food for the population.
