began a SYAP in June 2011, in the southern tip of
Huehuetenango in response to poor climatic conditions. The program provides emergency
response and aid to the most affected families and communities by the droughts and in
Malacatancito, San Juan Atitán, Santiago Chimaltenango, and San Ildefonso Ixtahuacan. The
program expects to target 26,400 direct beneficiaries and 4,400 families. Program activities are
divided into four categories: 1) Food for Action; 2) Nutrition and Health; 3) Agricultural
Production; and 4) Disaster Risk Mitigation. PCI is targeting families who have children under
five years of age and/or PLWs, families that lost harvest, families in extreme poverty, and
families with handicap members (Personal correspondence with PVO, July and August 2011).

Save the Children began an 18-month SYAP in 2009, in the department of Chiquimula with a
sub-grant to Mercy Corps for the departments of El Progreso and Zacapa. The SYAP targeted
vulnerable families who had suffered production deficits and acute malnutrition from widespread
drought in 2009.
In 2011, Save the Children began another SYAP in Chiquimula as a result of heavy rainfall.
Save the Children does not have a sub-grant in its 2011 SYAP. The SYAP targets 9,000
families that have children under five years old and/or PLWs in seven municipalities. The 58 lb
monthly family ration includes: 18 lb rice, 18 lb beans, 18 lb CSB, and 2 liters vegetable oil.
SYAP activities include monthly growth monitoring, home visits, nutritional assistance,
agricultural production, and other FFW activities, including the construction of water harvesting
tanks, improved stoves, and other livelihoods activities (Personal correspondence with PVO,
July 2011). Table 17 summarizes the Save the Childrens' SYAP commodities, tonnages, and
ration size.
