The Food Production Program is a social program implemented in Nicaragua since 2007 by the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity in order to reduce extreme poverty, hunger and malnutrition. The delivery of a non-cash bonus to women in rural areas across the country intends to strengthen the role of them in the economy of the community, providing them with the capacity to support their families and organizing their surplus production to make an economic and social impact, in a national level. The main purpose of this study is to propose the design of a monitoring and tracking system based on the logical framework methodology, taking as input the original design of the program and its actual functioning. The contribution of this study responds to the absence of a matrix to assess, continually and constantly, the fulfilment of the objectives to improve the management of resources and institutions involved.
