	NICARAGUA DESTINATIONS - NICARAGUA TRAVEL & HOLIDAY INFORMATION
		Nicaragua has 78 nature reserves that cover more than 21,000 km2; the following list is a very brief summary of some of the parks which have enough infrastructure and nearby lodging to permit access to Nicaragua's spectacular nature without wilderness camping.
		Nicaragua's volcanic chain is one of the most impressive on the isthmus due to beauty of the cones and the fact that all of the more than 50 cones (7 active which are active) rise off of a flat coastal plain that lies just above sea level.
		One of the best opportunities is in the rural areas by visiting the homes that double as workshops for the artisan handicraft makers of Nicaragua in Masaya and its surrounding colonial villages known as Los Pueblos de la Meseta or in the northern mountains.

		Nicaragua remains one of the poorest countries in Latin America, a place where the "haves" still have a lot and the "have-nots" still have very little.
		It is said in Nicaragua, and not without some truth, that the Somoza family, who ruled Nicaragua for most of the 20th century, looked upon Nicaragua not so much as a country, but as the family's personal property.

	Nicaragua - Nicaragua Country Brief
		To address Nicaragua’s development challenges and build on the country’s modest success in reducing poverty, the government is implementing its Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), which was prepared in consultation with municipal governments and civil society in 2001.
		In spite of drought, the onset of a coffee crisis, and the devastation of Hurricane Mitch, overall poverty in Nicaragua fell from 50.3 percent in 1993 to 45.8 percent in 2001.
		Nicaragua’s successful implementation of its Poverty Reduction Strategy is a key condition for the country to receive debt service relief under the International Monetary Fund and World Bank’s Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC).

	Nicaragua \| MADRE: An International Women's Human Rights Organization
		On the North Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua, home to most of Nicaragua’s Indigenous and African-descent communities, almost three-quarters of the population suffers from malnutrition; maternal mortality rates are twice the national average; and unemployment is a staggering 90 percent.
		While Nicaragua recently qualified for debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative, created by the IMF and World Bank to ostensibly reduce the debt of poor countries, the government will now be forced to adhere to even harsher neo-liberal policies that will further cripple its ability to improve conditions for poor Nicaraguans.
		Nicaragua’s maternal mortality ratio is currently 250 per 100,000 live births, compared to 12 per 100,000 births in the US.
