In April 2021, the national government signed a memorandum of understanding for the provision of assistance with the World Food Program with the aim of providing nutritional support to more than one million children in the country.
After this signing, a year later the WFP announced that between the months of May and June they hope to incorporate the states of Anzoátegui, Monagas, Delta Amacuro and Sucre into the program.
This program began in the state of Falcón and now covers the states of Barinas, Trujillo and Yaracuy in more than a thousand schools. The goal is to reach 1.5 million people by the end of this 2022-2023 school year.
In mid-April, Melo held a meeting with Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, to review the progress of the school feeding program in Venezuela. On that occasion, she expressed her gratitude to the government, civil society, partners and donors.
