Sivia is a town in central Peru, capital of the Sivia District in Huanta Province, Ayacucho Region.[1] It is on the west bank of the Apurímac River, about from the town of Pichari, capital of the Pichari District, La Convención Province, Cusco Region, on the other side of the river.[1] Both towns are in the zone known as the Valley of the Apurímac and Ene River (Valle de los Ríos Apurímac y Ene, or VRAE). The VRAE is an area of such high childhood malnutrition and poverty that the government of Peru selected the VRAE to launch its National Strategy for Growth program in 2007.[2] The VRAE is a major center of coca production.[3]
