In the first half of the year, WFP reached over 307,470 food-insecure people across Tanzania through tailored, targeted, and diverse interventions. This improved the food security and nutrition of vulnerable populations, supported community resilience, and strengthened national capacities while also addressing immediate humanitarian needs. The country continued facing some challenges related to poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition, and hosting refugees. Despite funding limitations, WFP maintained its life-saving food assistance in support of 203,040 Burundian and Congolese refugees residing in camps in North-West Tanzania. WFP addressed malnutrition among vulnerable populations through the provision of nutritious foods benefiting 22,216 children aged 6-59 months (50 percent girls) as well as 2,667 pregnant and lactating women and girls to prevent and treat malnutrition. Over 79,000 smallholder farmers, 50 percent of whom were women, directly benefited from WFP value chain support, which included improved access to quality inputs, predictable markets, and affordable finance. WFP’s supply chain services injected a total of USD 12 million into the local economy through food procurement and logistics services. WFP locally purchased around 7,000 mt of food commodities for its operations in Tanzania and neighbouring countries, of which 550 mt were procured from smallholder farmer organisations. Over 77,000 mt of food were transported by WFP using rail, lake, and road transport. WFP paid special attention to protection, gender, accountability to affected populations, and the needs of persons with disabilities. WFP integrated gender and age considerations across its activities and achieved the highest code of four against the Gender and Age Marker.
