In response to the continuing needs of refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo in Angola’s Lunda Norte province, WFP elaborated a Transitional Interim Country Strategic Plan (T-ICSP) for the period August 2018 to December 2019. This was designed to meet the basic food security and nutrition needs of the refugees and convey nutrition-sensitive messaging to promote diverse diets and healthier cooking practices. The food assistance consisted of a daily ration of 450 grams of maize meal, 60 grams of pulses, 25 ml of vegetable oil and 5 grams of salt. Following the reduction in the number of refugees in Lóvua due to the spontaneous, voluntary repatriation of over 15,500 of them, in 2019 WFP assisted around 20,000 people, 51 percent of them female, with 3,404 metric tons of commodities. Thanks to the participation of refugees in the complaint and feedback mechanisms established by WFP at food distribution points, improvements were made to the general food distribution process. These included starting distributions earlier in the day and establishing priority lanes for those with special needs.
