Abstract

According to the National Human Development Plan (PNDH 2018-2021), Sustainable Development Goals (ODS) and Agenda 2030, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (UNAN-MANAGUA) at its regional headquarters, Facultad Regional  Multidisciplinaria de  Chontales (FAREM Chontales) , has selected as a work area the Sustainable Development Goal 2 Zero Hunger (SDG 2) which proposes “Put an end to hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture” (United Nations Publication 2018: 7) where the work of the Faculty in performance with the SDG is addressed within the framework of Public Policies of Nicaragua.Within this framework, two programs that the Faculty is developing are analyzed: the Observatory Program for Quality of Life and Development of Health Education (OCAVIDEPS) and University in the Country (UNICAM).The Observatory for Quality of Life and Health Education Development Program (OCAVIDEPS) is a strategy developed by FAREM Chontales with the support of Excellency Dos Hermanas City Council in Seville, Spain, in order to face psychosocial risks and poverty, to meet the needs of the population, mainly children, adolescents and young people, since it is a very vulnerable sector and therefore responds to environmental risk factors. Likewise, the Faculty participates in the project "Universidad del Campo" (UNICAM), which was implemented by UNAN-Managua within the framework of the UE ALFA program. It is a project aimed at the inhabitants of rural areas of the country.
