Helping people in Nicaragua | ASB Foreign Aid

It is imperative that the increasingly deteriorating environment in Nicaragua's dry corridor is protected without delay. The decline in agricultural production has resulted in food insecurity and falling household incomes in rural areas of this region. ASB has chosen the organisation UNAG as its implementation partner in Nicaragua. UNAG is in contact with all communities in the project areas as well as the relevant agencies of the Nicaraguan government, which are mandated by law to deal with emergencies.
