In 2021, WFP Mali continued to position itself as a partner of choice for immediate and longer-term food security, social protection, and nutrition responses in Mali. To achieve transformative change, WFP implemented a package of interlinked activities that combined Food Assistance for Assets (FFA), school feeding, nutrition, capacity strengthening, and seasonal support. WFP’s emergency food assistance targeted conflict-affected and displaced populations and households impacted by climate-related shocks such as drought and flooding. Where feasible, WFP provided a top-up resource to people affected by the socioeconomic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Overall, 1.6 million beneficiaries were reached in 2021. WFP continued to ramp up the integrated resilience-building work to ensure that communities in targeted areas have more resilient livelihoods for improved food security and nutrition in the face of shocks and stressors. Over 198,000 people in 23 communes across six regions benefited from asset creation activities and received USD 5.7 million, enabling them to create over 850 community and household-level assets. Smallholder farmers were reached through the construction/rehabilitation of infrastructure. WFP remained committed to advancing gender equality and empowering women and girls in Mali. WFP provided transport for over 6,000 mt of food on behalf of various partners. WFP also provided support to the Government's fight against COVID-19, handling 14,000 m3 of medical supplies through its warehouses and delivering 3,500 m3 of supplies across the country on behalf of the government.
