Over the next five years in Guatemala, Feed the Future aims to help an estimated 219,000 vulnerable Guatemalan women, children and family members—mostly smallholder farmers—escape hunger and poverty. More than 166,000 children will be reached with services to improve their nutrition and prevent stunting and child mortality. Significant numbers of additional rural populations will achieve improved income and nutritional status from strategic policy engagement and institutional investments.

Additional information on implementation of Feed the Future in Guatemala will be available soon. At any time, you can visit this page to download existing resources on Guatemala’s Feed the
