To achieve the CSP shift, WFP in 2020 continued to provide technical support and engage in capacity strengthening activities to manage food security and nutrition interventions. Under Strategic Outcome 1, WFP provided cash-based and food transfers to targeted food insecure households in seven constituencies to enable them to meet their basic food requirements. Under Strategic Outcome 2, WFP in partnership with the Government, UN sister agencies and other national partners engaged in capacity strengthening activities and support to smallholder farmers to enhance market access through linkages to Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF). Under Strategic Outcome 3, WFP supported national social protection systems in identifying and assisting the most food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable populations. The support included nutritious meals for orphans and vulnerable children in pre-primary Neighbourhood Care Points (NCPs), and school meals for children in primary and secondary schools. WFP provided technical assistance to state entities for the generation, management and use of food security monitoring and analysis. In response to the impact of COVID-19 and erratic drought conditions, WFP implemented crisis response through unconditional resource transfers to affected populations through food and cash transfers reaching 125,375 people. WFP provided social safety nets for 55,000 orphans and vulnerable children under 5 years in 1,700 NCPs. WFP also worked with the Government in implementing a sustainable, nutrition-sensitive, shock-responsive HGSF programme, providing school meals to 24,392 pupils and supporting 663 smallholder farmers' production and market access.
