With the WFP Executive Board’s approval in June 2022, WFP China’s new Country Strategic Plan (CSP) (2022-2025) became effective on July 1, 2022. Building upon the previous Country Strategic Plan (2017-2022), WFP’s cooperation with China under the new CSP will focus on one strategic outcome: improving nutrition status and livelihoods of left-behind groups in rural areas of China in line with national targets by 2025. WFP will continue to foster partnerships with the Government and public and private sectors on financial and technical support to WFP’s food security and nutrition targets. WFP China’s engagement in China under the new CSP from July to December 2022 is covered by this report. WFP continued to support Chinese Government’s commitment to reducing malnutrition among children by implementing four pilot projects of preschool nutrition improvement program in 2022 in the rural areas of Hunan, Gansu,Guangxi and Sichuan Province. These pilot projects aim to demonstrate the value of extending national school meals program to early childhood stage for nutrition improvement and rural human capital development. In the second half of 2022, with WFP’s support, approximately 5,600 (female 2,700, male 2,900) preschool children received 320,000 nutritious meals in 57 preschools. In line with China’s rural revitalization strategy, WFP supported smallholder farmers in 2022 to increase their production capacity of nutritious and high-quality agricultural products and promote the establishment of the nutrition sensitive value chain to improve smallholder farmers’ nutritional status, increase their income, and enhance their resilience to climate change. WFP continued these endeavors through two pilot projects, namely the Zinc-enriched Potato Project in Gansu Province and the Holistic Agricultural Risk Management Project in Jilin Province. In the second half of 2022, approximately 7,500 (female 3.000, male 4,500) smallholder farmers benefited from these projects.
