To meet national targets by 2025, WFP, under Strategic Outcome 1, aimed to improve nutrition for children under five, adolescent girls, and pregnant and lactating women. To achieve this, WFP advocated for increased government financial investment in and scale of evidence-based nutrition actions. WFP carried out social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) to promote healthy diets through various channels, including print, local TV, and social media. WFP equally focused on scaling up staple food fortification in Timor-Leste. Under Strategic Outcome 2, despite prolonged COVID-19 related school closures, WFP continued to engage with the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports (MoEYS) and other line ministries through the new School Meals Coalition and pilot projects. WFP also continued to strengthen national and subnational government institutions in delivering food-, nutrition- and supply chain-related services. This entailed providing technical expertise in logistics to improve supply chain management system. WFP also worked with line ministries and development partners in supply chain systems capacity strengthening (SCSCS) and emergency preparedness and response (EPR). The revised CSP and budget allowed WFP to contribute to the government-led COVID-19 response and economic recovery in the areas of data collection, monitoring, and beneficiary registration. WFP also supported the Government in targeting crisis-affected populations and vulnerable groups to meet their food and nutrition needs.
