Summary
In contribution towards SDG 2.2, WFP supported the government to deliver nutritious foods to more than 15,500 children and Pregnant and Lactating Women and Girls to prevent and treat malnutrition. WFP contributed to SDG target 2.3 by supporting smallholder’s farmers to improve productivity and incomes while providing better access to water to breeders and their herds through the construction of water retention assets. Through its Bilateral Service Provision, which includes storage, customs clearance, transport, and humanitarian cargo handling services, WFP contributed to SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals. Djibouti is a major hub for logistics support to Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Yemen. As such, WFP provided timely and cost-effective supply chain services thanks to its Humanitarian Logistics Base. In total, 17 Service Level Agreements were signed between WFP and humanitarian actors active in the region, including UN sister agencies. Though these agreements WFP hosted more 2 million mt of humanitarian cargo. Across the T-ICSP, WFP reached a total of 120,000 beneficiaries[1] through a combination of 4,905 mt unconditional resource transfers (in-kind food) and entitlements (cash-based transfers, CBT) valued at approximately USD 2 million. Finally, in response to the devastating floods in November, WFP – in collaboration with UNICEF – supported the government by responding to the immediate food needs of 6,500 households (32,500 individuals). Assistance was provided through CBT (paper vouchers, cumulative value of USD 367,000) allowing recipients to redeem food commodities through a network of participating retailers. Thanks to this support, targeted households managed to better face immediate food needs while recovering their livelihoods.
