While assistance to crisis-affected populations remains at the core of WFPs work, WFP strengthened technical support and capacity development of central and local level government counterparts and enhanced its resilience and human capital interventions, in order to progressively reduce the humanitarian needs in the future. Throughout the year, WFP provided critical food and nutrition assistance to the most vulnerable people, including internally displaced persons, refugees, returnees and vulnerable local populations. While assistance to refugees continued throughout 2019, WFP worked to consolidate the shift from status to vulnerability-based targeting. Informed by a consumption gap analysis, WFP adapted rations to actual needs and stepped up efforts to improve the living standards of refugee households that no longer receive emergency food assistance. To make sure that the appropriate assistance reaches the right people, WFP also conducted the biometric registration of displaced communities around Lake Chad. In the Sahelian provinces, WFP sequenced emergency food and nutritional assistance during the lean season with activities to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities the rest of the year. Thanks to innovative approaches to tackle malnutrition, WFP achieved improvements in the nutrition situation. These was possible thanks to a combination of community-based approaches and behavioral change communication that allowed increasing the coverage of treatment activities to remote areas. Moreover, WFP took the lead in key projects for the production of both semi-industrial and artisanal fortified foods. People living with HIV received food assistance and nutritional counselling around Lake Chad.
