January 2018 – The deepening economic and political crisis in Venezuela is resulting in severe shortages of basic food and medicine and significantly increased the prices of non-subsidized basic goods. As a result, poor and vulnerable households are adopting negative coping mechanisms and humanitarian needs continue to increase in multiple sectors, including health. With GAC’s support, this project helps provide life-saving assistance to vulnerable and crisis-affected communities in Venezuela. Project activities include: (1) provision of basic health services; (2) distribution of essential medication to vulnerable and at-risk individuals; and (3) improving epidemiological surveillance.
