As part of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Malnutrition, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has announced a financial commitment of up to $25 billion over the next three years. This effort is aimed at addressing the food crisis and promoting food security in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a region where food insecurity affects millions of people.

The Global Alliance Against Hunger and Malnutrition is an initiative that seeks to mobilize international resources and efforts to ensure access to adequate and nutritious food for the most vulnerable populations. The IDB, as a strategic partner, will focus its efforts on promoting sustainable food production, improving agrifood systems and strengthening agricultural value chains.
