As a response, LWF Central America conducts projects in the areas of food security, climate change, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), human rights and gender justice, migration and humanitarian assistance. In 2021, LWF Central America supported more than 29,000 people including different projects in response to COVID-19.

LWF Central America’s work relies on three strategic areas of intervention as defined in the 2019-2024 Country Strategy: Livelihoods, Quality Services and Protection and Social Cohesion. The country program’s implementation stategy is based on a “local to global” approach, supporting partner organizations and communities in various areas.
