Dry Corridor: Understanding the Challenge, Driving Solutions
The Central American Dry Corridor is a region that is particularly vulnerable to climate variability. Recurring droughts, soil degradation, and dependence on subsistence agriculture affect food production and the livelihoods of thousands of families.
In response to this challenge, across Central America we work to ensure that communities not only respond to crises, but are better prepared to face them. This means strengthening food and nutrition security, promoting more resilient agricultural practices, improving access to and the use of resources such as water, promoting nutritious local foods, and supporting families and communities in reducing their vulnerability.

Jorge Galeano
CA4 Director - Central America
“Getting to know and walking alongside communities across Central America reminds us every day that behind every challenge are people, families, and dreams that deserve an opportunity. In Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, we face complex realities, such as those experienced by communities in the Dry Corridor, but we also find tremendous opportunities to transform lives.
At World Vision Central America, we walk alongside families, partners, and communities, joining efforts to drive sustainable and lasting solutions, always placing every decision in God’s hands and under His guidance.”

Hector Salgado
Sustainability Director of CA4
“To sustainably transform lives, we need to secure the resources, partnerships, and opportunities that make transformation possible in the field.
At World Vision Central America, we seek to build relationships of trust with partners and allies, mobilize new funding, and strengthen the capacities that enable us to respond to the needs of communities. We place all these efforts at the service of our purpose, always trusting in God’s guidance.”
