He National Government of Colombia previously released the Solidarity Income, one of the most important social programs, but it has been confirmed that it will no longer be paid in 2023 and in its place there will be a new financial subsidy. In December, the Department of social prosperity put into action the Shock Plan against Hunger to address the economic crisis that has affected the most vulnerable families. Here we present all the details of zero hungerwhich has already provided support to many households.
Zero Hunger is made up of a series of social programs that provide bonuses to people living in poverty in Colombia. The delivery of the subsidies began in December 2022, and a single transfer of 500,000 pesos was made that was paid throughout the country following an established schedule.
