EU donates US $90.6 million dollars to fight against child malnutrition in Peru

The Peruvian government signed Thursday a Budgetary Support Agreement with the European Union, which will allocated US $90.6 million dollars (during the next four and a half years) to combat chronic child malnutrition in the interior of Peru, according to Andina news agency.
The agreement, which is called Euro-Pan Budget Support Program, is a new form of cooperation received by countries with efficient and transparent institutions, so the money will be transferred directly to the Public Sector Budget.
According to the press release, this is the first operation of its kind conducted in Peru, which will receive the largest budget support throughout Latin America.
The program aims to help reduce chronic child malnutrition, especially in Apurimac, Ayacucho and Huancavelica, regions that have a chronic malnutrition rate much higher than the national average.
