A/HRC/41/18/Add.1 problems of food and medicine scarcity with FAO experts, and obtained pertinent data from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. In the FAO reports of December 2017 and March 2018, the food crises of 37 countries are numbered. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is not among them. 16. In paragraph 13, the report holds that Venezuela has not demonstrated having used all of the resources at its disposal to guarantee the progressive exercise of the right to food. This affirmation is wrong because the State provided OHCHR ample information on the measures adopted to guarantee the right to food. 17. Indeed, in the response to the questionnaire sent by the OHCHR, the Government of Venezuela informed that, in addition to the program of the Local Committees for Supply and Production, it invests public resources towards the progressive fulfillment of the right to food through the following programs: School Feeding program (PAE). Consists in the distribution of varied and balanced food to over 4,000,000 children in the school system. Food Centers. This program provides food care with two meals a day to 750,000 people in a situation of social vulnerability, throughout the national territory. Care Plan for Nutritional Vulnerability. Consists in the monthly distribution of food supplements to the 1630,000 people with nutritional vulnerability at a national level, including children under five, pregnant women and seniors. Provides specialized nutritional care to children under five with therapeutic food, vitamins, minerals, educational services and nutritional recovery services. Soup Kitchens. This initiative distributes daily, varied and balanced food to over 6,000 people in a situation of social vulnerability. Food Service to People as Wards of the State. Consists in the provision of food inputs to penitentiary centers, health centers, nursing homes and shelters for women, children and adolescents. Food Component for Indigenous Peoples. This initiative provides food for 338 indigenous community, belonging to 24 indigenous peoples. Balanced food is provided to 30,000 people. Breastfeeding. Consists of actions for the promotion, protection and support of breastfeeding, as a first step towards Food Sovereignty. The prevalence of breastfeeding in Venezuela is 71%, exceeding the WHO recommendation (50%). This indicator demonstrates the progress made towards the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda goals. 18. By the same token, the report avoids mentioning that Venezuela allocates, on average, 75% of its budget to social investment, as was mentioned to the technical mission that visited Venezuela in March 2019 and to the United Nations High Commissioner during her stay in the country. 19. As evidence of the above, it is worth highlighting that the Venezuelan Government invests 3.906 billion dollars a year in the purchase of food to be distributed to the people. This amount includes 2.826 billion dollars for the acquisition of products through the CLAP program and 1.08 billion dollars for importing diverse food items not produced in the country. All of this information was provided to the OHCHR mission during its stay in Venezuela. 20. In this context, it is therefore inexplicable that the OHCHR has omitted all of the information furnished by the State and makes the claim in paragraph 13 of its report so loosely and without a technical base to support it. 21. In paragraph 14, the report analyzes the “shortage” and availability of food based on interviews principally held outside of Venezuelan territory. Furthermore, the analysis omits information gathered directly by the OHCHR during its visit to two food retail establishments 4
