  • Facts About Nicaragua, “Land of Fire and Water”
    Facts about Nicaragua, “Land of Fire and Water” ◦ Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. Its area is about 50,000 square miles, which is close in size to the state of Virginia (Virginia is about 43,000 square miles). ◦The capital of Nicaragua is Managua. ◦ Nicaragua is known as the land of fire and water because it has numerous volcanoes and lakes, as well as two coastlines. ◦There are 19 active and extinct volcanoes on the Pacific side of the country. See web cam images and animations of some of Nicaragua’s volcanoes: http://web- geofisica.ineter.gob.ni/webcam/ Locations of some of Nicaragua’s volcanoes ◦ Spanish is the official language and is spoken by most people in Nicaragua. English and some native languages are spoken on the Caribbean coast. ◦ Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Americas. Most people in the country work hard, but many struggle to have enough to take care of all their basic needs. ◦The school year in Nicaragua is from early February through late November. Because of a limited number of teachers, schools, and resources, the school day is divided into two shifts and all students attend either in the morning or the afternoon. 1 ◦About 4 out of every 10 children in Nicaragua stop attending school by the age of 15, most often because they need to work to help support their families. ◦The country flag has three horizontal stripes: a white stripe in the middle with a blue stripe above and below it. In the center is the national seal, consisting of a triangle which represents equality and justice.

  • Nicaragua Food Security Warning
    Nicaragua Food Security Warning The Mesoamerican Food Security Early Warning System (MFEWS) issues periodic warnings when a food crisis is developing, where groups are now, or about to become, highly food insecure and take increasingly irreversible actions that undermine their future food security. Decision makers should urgently address the situations highlighted by this Warning. October 2005 Rat Plague and Excessive Rainfall Causing Crop Losses in Nicaragua Nicaragua currently faces a food security crisis in Waspán, where a rat plague has caused heavy localized crop damage. Though so far the plague has been limited to Waspán, it may also spread into Jinotega. The country is also suffering from excessive rains, resulting in mudslides and minor crop losses which are unlikely to have a major food security impact. SITUATION IN WASPÁN Affected Areas and Livelihood Zones in Nicaragua The Government of Nicaragua has declared a State of Emergency for the municipality of Waspán, located in northeastern Nicaragua in the Autonomous Region of the North Atlantic (RAAN). Rats have caused crop losses of rice and yucca, two of the most important staples in the zone, leaving households in the western part of Waspán acutely food insecure. According to a late August 2005 interagency assessment (joint United Nations and GON), 18 communities in western Waspán are in need of assistance. The 14 most affected communities have lost almost 100 percent of their rice crop and a significant portion of their yucca crop. These communities will require food aid until at least the next harvest which occurs in November and December. Preliminary reports indicate that communities in neighboring San Jose Bocay and Wiwilí have also experienced crop losses.
