For 2022, the UN collaborated with national institutions to generate statistical data and contributed to implementing public policies to reduce poverty and promote equality, social inclusion, and sustainable development, considering the country’s demographic dynamics (aging, growth, population decline, etc.).

Activities focused on protecting and creating production means and basic services in homes and communities were also promoted to increase their capacity to face economic shock.

These actions contribute to achieving SDG 1: No Poverty and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.

For 2022, the UN contributed to the Bolivarian Educational System deepening the curricular development with quality and relevance, focusing on human rights, gender, and interculturality.

The normalization of in-person classes throughout the country as of April 2022 and the Transforming Education Summit (TES) have defined the activities framed in SDG 4: Quality Education.

To achieve SDG 2: Zero Hunger, the UN contributed to sovereignty and food security by implementing public policies to strengthen the management of information systems on food and nutrition security, promote the diversification of production development, and foster sustainable ways of life in the population.

A contribution was made so that the nutritional policy of Venezuela incorporates or deepens the requirements of the population’s life course. The production and consumption of food were increased while creating livelihoods and improving the capacities of vulnerable rural communities to cope with climate change and food insecurity.

The cooperation provided by the UN, with the support of its implementing partners, to the Ministry of Popular Power for Health (MPPS, for its acronym in Spanish) and the National Public Health System (SPNS) to achieve SDG 3: Health and Well-being focused on comprehensive health interventions for the timely care of people in vulnerable situations (women, children, adolescents, and young people), the response to outbreaks and epidemics, and maintaining the operational capacity of health services by supplying inputs, immunization, and adequate infrastructure.

Efforts were also made to reinforce comprehensive actions in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), HIV/AIDS prevention, care and monitoring, and chronic non-communicable diseases.

For 2022, the UN contributed to implementing public policies on citizen security and access to justice that guarantee human rights and reduce crime and delinquency.

We also contributed to implementing a comprehensive policy to consolidate a peace and human rights culture centered on friendly coexistence and good living.

For 2022, the UN contributed to implementing public policies aimed at the conservation and sustainable management of natural ecosystems, efficient environmental management in urban and rural areas, comprehensive risk management, and efficient and diversified energy use and production.

Committed to accompanying the Venezuelan State towards the achievement of the SDGs related to environmental protection and climate action, the UN, through the Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism (MINEC, for its acronym in Spanish), focused on building capacities for sustainable forest management, sustainable land management from an eco-social perspective, protection of biodiversity, comprehensive management of water and sanitation, and mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
