Summary
In 2020, WFP's activities were aligned with the Government development plans aiming towards enhancing access to food security and nutrition through sustainable and gender transformative approaches. WFP supported the Government’s safety nets including school feeding, strengthening them to address the needs of the targeted vulnerable groups. Working towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 2.1, WFP scaled up its life-saving food assistance to 266,000 people to improve their food security and nutrition. Contributing to SDG target 2.3, WFP together with partners supported 400 smallholder farmers with interventions to contribute to improved livelihoods and resilience. WFP provided technical support during the nationwide food distribution of rice, oil, and sugar in May/June to 84 percent of the population in The Gambia. In collaboration with the World Bank, WFP provided cash-based transfers (CBTs) to 41,512 vulnerable people across the country in Banjul, Kanifing Municipality, West Coast Region and North Bank Region, while the World Bank provided CBTs to all the other provincial regions. During school closures, WFP distributed alternative take-home rations to 150,742 school children in 312 Lower Basic Schools through the school feeding programme, targeting 73,000 households.
