Summary
In 2019, the priorities of the CSP included addressing the triple burden of malnutrition; reducing post-harvest losses; improving smallholder farmers' access to markets; enhancing food safety and quality along nutrition value chains; strengthening capacities for targeting and implementation of food security; nutrition and social protection programmes; and enhancing emergency preparedness and response. A combination of cash-based transfers and capacity strengthening was provided to targeted beneficiaries. Women and children received SBCC and nutrition education on optimal feeding practices as well as e-vouchers to redeem at local retail shops to buy fortified foods produced locally by WFP's partners. Stunting prevention interventions were also initiated in 2019 and reparatory work to include adolescent girls in the stunting prevention programme was undertaken and is expected to be rolled out in 2020. WFP supported targeted smallholder farmers in aggregating and improving post-harvest management practices and linking them to selected industrial processors, through technical support and capacity strengthening. Through WFP's support, school children are consuming more nutritious meals, following a nationwide elaborate training of school caterers and head cooks of the school feeding programme on innovative cooking to improve the quality and nutrition of school meals.
