GUATEMALA: Gov’t claims progress on key priority
On 24 September Guatemala’s left-of-centre government led by President Bernardo Arévalo presented a new report indicating that, through the work of the presidency’s secretariat of food and nutritional security (Sesan), there had been a 28% reduction in cumulative cases of acute malnutrition in 50 municipalities prioritised under a government protocol in the first eight months of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The result indicates progress for the government with regard to a key pledge upon taking office in January 2024 – cutting malnutrition by 10%. This, in a country where 46% of children under the age of two suffer from chronic malnutrition according to a September 2025 World Bank report.
