Summary
In 2018, WFP maintained its humanitarian assistance capacity while sharpening its focus on social protection, human capital development and resilience. WFP ensured that food and nutrition security of 21,500 refugees and asylum seekers, as well as all their basic needs, were adequately addressed. WFP introduced initiatives to enhance the local markets around the Markazi settlement by providing small loans to retailers and increase beneficiary access to diversified foods. Additionally, WFP continued to enhance the resilience of chronically vulnerable rural and urban populations. In rural areas, unconditional in-kind relief assistance was provided to 12,500 people. To build resilience, approximately 259,000 people and their livestock benefited from the assets created on water and rehabilitated soils. To fight against the high levels of malnutrition, WFP implemented nutritional programmes targeting 2,674 Pregnant and Lactating Women/Girls (PLW/G) in the regions of Obock and Dikhil. Based on the outcomes of the System Assessment for Better Education Results - School Feeding (SABER) for a sustainable national school meals programme carried out in 2017, WFP continued to support the government to develop a sustainable nationally owned school feeding programme. As such, WFP is supporting the ministry of education in the development of a national school feeding policy. WFP reached 18,948 boys and girls attending primary and pre-school in the rural areas of Djibouti with one meal and a snack per school day, complemented by the government fresh foods. This support contributed to significant increase of enrolment rate.
