Federal Council Argentina Against Hunger
The Argentine Federal Council against Hunger was created by President Alberto Fernández short after he took office. The Council is a platform for intersectoral dialogue that advises the government on the design of policies to guarantee that vulnerable sectors have access to food. One of the consensuses reached by the Council and then implemented by the government was the creation of a food card, with which parents in vulnerable economic conditions can get food in shops. The Council was convened again in August 2020 to address deficits in access to food during the coronavirus pandemic. More than 60 representatives of the private sector and civil society organizations participate in the Council.
