Managed by Panama Regional Bureau, this decentralized evaluation covers the regional project “Response to El Niño in the Dry Corridor” implemented by the WFP in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua from 2016 to 2018 and financed by the European Union. The area known as the Dry Corridor covers a large part of the central premontane region of these four countries. The phenomenon of El Niño has aggravated the climatic conditions limiting the capacity for livelihood recovery across the Dry Corridor, which has now accumulated impacts of prolonged periods of drought over a five-year period (2014-2018).
