The coronavirus pandemic has not only been a health emergency, but has also generated an economic, social and food crisis. In this context, cooking pots (OC) have played a central role in the subsistence of the most vulnerable population in the cities, and in some way have replaced social food programs. The first part of the study was based on the application of surveys and in-depth interviews, the results of which were complemented with information from the OC registry of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML). Based on these sources of information, a diagnosis was prepared showing that the main problem was the lack of infrastructure, food supplies and equipment. The OC emerged in the poorest areas of the country, with precarious access to basic services such as water, electricity and drainage. Moreover, as spontaneous citizen initiatives lacking public or regular support, the OC generally develop in improvised spaces -such as borrowed premises or even on public roads-. However, despite their precariousness, they are a symbol of resilience and solidarity. In addition, they also represent spaces of accompaniment and empowerment for their members, especially for women. The second part of the study is based on the exploration of official responses in favor of OC. The MML was the first authority to implement a comprehensive program that included their registration, the channeling of donations and the development of some training programs. While this program has benefited hundreds of OC in the capital, it also has some limitations. One of the main ones is the lack of knowledge about its existence, which means that many OC -perhaps the most vulnerable- are not aware of the program and, therefore, do not register and do not benefit from it. Another problem is that the management to obtain food has not been very effective in the sense that, many times, donations are not food inputs or are food that cannot be used in the preparation of menus.... view less

La pandemia del coronavirus no solo ha significado una emergencia sanitaria, sino que también ha generado una crisis en los ámbitos económico, social y alimentario. En este contexto, las ollas comunes (OC) han jugado un papel central en la subsistencia de la población más vulnerable de las ciudades, y de alguna manera han sustituido a programas sociales alimentarios. La primera parte del estudio se basó en la aplicación de encuestas y entrevistas en profundidad cuyos resultados se complementaron con la información del registro de OC de la Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima (MML). Sobre la base de estas fuentes de información, se preparó un diagnóstico que mostró como principal problema las carencias de infraestructura, insumos alimentarios y equipamiento. Las OC surgieron en las zonas más pobres del país, con acceso precario a servicios básicos como agua, electricidad y desagüe. Además, como iniciativas ciudadanas espontáneas y carentes de apoyo público o regular, las OC generalmente se desarrollan en espacios improvisados -como locales prestados o incluso en la vía pública-. Pero, pese a su precariedad, son símbolo de resiliencia y solidaridad. Además, también representan espacios de acompañamiento y empoderamiento para sus miembros, sobre todo para las mujeres. La segunda parte del estudio se basa en la exploración de las respuestas oficiales a favor de las OC. La MML fue la primera autoridad en implementar un programa integral que incluía su registro, la canalización de donaciones y el desarrollo de algunos programas de capacitación. Si bien este programa ha beneficiado a cientos de OC de la capital, también presenta algunas limitaciones. Una de las principales es el gran desconocimiento acerca de su existencia, que implica que muchas OC -quizá las más vulnerables- no conozcan el programa y, por tanto, no se inscriban y no se benefician de él. Otro problema es que la gestión para obtener alimentos no ha sido muy efectiva en el sentido de que, muchas veces, las donaciones no son insumos alimentarios o son alimentos que no pueden ser utilizados en la preparación de los menús.... view less
