For WFP in Algeria, 2020 was marked by the development of strong new partnerships, innovation, and perseverance. The Interim Country Strategic Plan (ICSP) 2019 - 2022, which came into effect on July 1, 2019, is oriented around two strategic outcomes that aim to meet the basic food needs of Sahrawi men, women, boys, girls, and people with disabilities and improve the nutrition status of the most vulnerable among them. Overall, 63 percent of households reported acceptable food consumption in December 2020, a 19.2 percent increase compared to 2019, attributable to an expanded choice of fresh food following the introduction of the CBT modality and improved water quality. Furthermore, WFP reached over 100 percent of targeted beneficiaries in Algeria in 2020, amounting to 133,672. An additional 19,096 vulnerable individuals living in the camps who suffered from the socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic were reached with Unconditional Resource Transfers. WFP signed a new field-level agreement with the Algerian Red Crescent to provide acute malnutrition screening at the dispensary, household and kindergarten levels to ensure that every child between 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women are screened for acute malnutrition at least once a month. WFP finalized a social and behaviour change strategy which will be the basis of its future partnership with Oxfam focusing on women’s empowerment, the care group approach, nutrition, and school health.
