Step-by-step explanation:
1. The sociopolitical crisis of 2018-2019, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic and two major hurricanes in 2020, resulted in a cumulative GDP loss of 8.7 percent, increased poverty, and impacted the country's economic growth
2. Nicaragua has a high rate of domestic abuse, violence against women, and femicide, and the government has been criticized for dismantling institutional checks on presidential power, barring opposition political parties, and abolishing term limits. The November 2021 presidential elections were also deemed not free and fair due to government repression of critics and political opposition. [2]
3. The Sandinista government has expanded social policies in the past, such as social housing, food, education, health, and infrastructure development, but poverty and inequality may not decrease in the medium term due to slow growth, high food prices, and fiscal consolidation. The World Bank has supported Nicaragua through IDA to reduce poverty sustainably by leveraging local initiatives.
