Context
Deteriorating access to essential public services has prompted part of the population to flee the country. The long-term effects on living conditions were still being experienced by the country’s inhabitants in 2023. It is estimated that 7.7 million Venezuelan men, women and children have left the country since 2016, representing over a quarter of the population.
Over the last two years, the economic situation improved slightly as a result of the informal dollarisation of the economy, which put an end to food shortages in markets. However, most Venezuelans still find it very difficult to meet their most basic needs.
The 2023-2024 government-approved humanitarian response plan aims to assist 4.6 million peopleis.

Through the technical support of local partners, a successful outcome has been achieved in Lara State, following the distribution of agricultural inputs. Post-distribution surveys showed a particularly high level of community engagement. All the households surveyed declared that they had planted the distributed seeds.
In addition, households chose additional varieties of seeds, extending the initial scope of the project.
A significant percentage of households even said they had given part of their production to other people, creating very positive momentum for the future of the project.
