Commitment

Awareness-raising in collaboration with the government

Civil society organisation / Costa Rica

March 2025 — March 2033

Description

Costa Rica's commitment focuses on raising awareness about the substantial increase in malnutrition across all segments of the population, as the most recent data available dates back to 2018-2019. This awareness campaign would be carried out in collaboration with the government within the framework of the National Gastronomy Plan and the National Health Plans led by Costa Rica's Health System, under the direction of the Ministry of Health, the Social Security Fund, and other key stakeholders.

Since our work is limited to awareness-raising in collaboration with the government within the framework of health plans and the National Plan for Sustainable and Healthy Costa Rican Gastronomy, the intervention of the Civil Society Alliance in Costa Rica, coordinated by the Costa Rican Gastronomy Foundation, focuses on organizing a minimum of three forums during the designated period. The corresponding funds for these forums would be covered by the Ministry of Health and provided in-kind by supporters of the National Plan for Sustainable and Healthy Costa Rican Gastronomy, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and other government entities.
