That is why we are implementing the Grand National Crusade for Nutrition, as one of the most important programmes to be developed during my Government. The initiative aims to unite all sectors of the country in order to improve the nutrition of Guatemalan families, with an emphasis on the poorest and most marginalized areas, while applying a comprehensive approach to address the problem’s myriad causes.
