Background Information

Through the government’s Integrated Rural Development programme, the UN provided food aid for the improvement of the rural population. The 40 000 beneficiaries paid 30% of the value of the rations they received to finance basic public infrastructure works.

Beginning in 1969, UN Agencies assisted the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare in the protection and care of minors. Supplies – including wheat flour, dried skimmed milk, meat, cheese, pulses, vegetable oil and biscuits – were provided annually to 1.1 million beneficiaries.
