The last two years have been of great challenges for the implementation of Fundación Agrolíbano's programs in the communities served in the southern part of the country, both due to the direct effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the population and the impact that the crisis has had on the deprivations that determine multidimensional poverty.

However, the results achieved in reducing the global malnutrition index - GDI since 2018 have been sustained, closing 2021 with 5.65% GDI in children under 2 years of age. This achievement has been thanks to the persistent work of community volunteers in 16 communities, who with the technical support of the Agrolíbano Foundation have served nearly 1,100 girls and boys from 0 to 5 years of age in more than 170 growth and development monitoring sessions, which month by month follow up on weight, early stimulation, counseling, in addition to home visits, to strengthen care from the gestation period, in healthy growth and development the first 5 years of life and contribute to fostering an adequate family, school and community environment for the comprehensive development of children.

These actions are part of the Comprehensive Care for Early Childhood Program, which aims to contribute to the comprehensive development of children from 0 to 5 years old, promoting factors related to human rights, education, health and nutrition, with the participation of the family, school and community; which the Agrolíbano Foundation implements from a systemic approach where the center is the child. In this way, it contributes to SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 16 and 17, by contributing to the reduction of deprivations linked to multidimensional poverty, reducing child malnutrition, promoting the well-being and care of the development of children, promoting learning opportunities, peaceful societies and the establishment of alliances to achieve the objectives.
