NICARAGUA PROGRAMS
SNN facilitates action on contemporary issues confronting the Latin America and Caribbean Region and the global South, including how to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate variability and change, and the interface with migration, environmental, social, economic and political priorities.
We convene stakeholders, including international and regional organizations, to discuss these challenges and support policy formulation, solution identification and learning from implementation. We leverage innovation and technology, to reduce disaster risk and impact, and promote adaptation to climate change with an emphasis on justice.
South North Nexus works with communities, civil society, government officials, researchers and professionals to promote mutual learning, partnership and action to confront location-specific challenges.
These complex issues require collaborative approaches which start with the daily challenges that people and communities face and linking their priorities with broader policies and proven technologies. The nexus between traditional knowledge and contemporary science and strategies for sustainable food systems, food security and nutrition are among our top priorities.

Learning, sharing and innovation take place using a variety of methods and tools, including research, evaluations, case studies and assessments, and sharing of technical experiences. Our tool kit contains livelihood and gender analyses, disaster risk and impact assessment, hazard mapping, climate assessments, adaptation and resilience planning, emergency preparedness, and disaster risk planning and reduction.
The countries of the Central American Dry Corridor - El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua- constitute a region of interest due to the seriousness of their climate, economic, migratory and political challenges. Many communities and countries in the south and north are experiencing severe climate, political and migratory challenges that require urgent action.

Nicaragua Socio Economic Analysis
COVID-19 has brought yet another dimension to the crisis in Nicaragua, aggravating the deep political and economic situation — Nicaragua is fast bordering on a humanitarian crisis. Economic recession that began on the back of the April 2018 political crisis will deepen significantly. GDP growth fell by 3.9% in 2019 and is expected to fall by 8.2% in 2020 and by 2.0% in 2021.This will have a devastating effect on the population, in terms of employment and income, access to basic services such as food, health, water and electricity. SNN and local partners are working to have a clear understanding of these social impacts including the magnitude and nature. The study includes projections based on available information and will facilitate an understanding of the required humanitarian and early recovery actions needed to mitigate the impact among the more vulnerable segments of the population. The SNN report was presented at a forum sponsored by SNN and the Fundación Arias that was opened by former president of Costa Rica Luis Guillermo Solis.
