Résumé
Thanks to multi-year donations earmarked for previous development activities, WFP continued resilience building, nutrition education and women’s empowerment activities in the Dry Corridor. Cash and in-kind transfers reached 35,000 people exposed to recurrent climate hazards, diversifying their livelihoods and improving their management of natural resources. The partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food was a determining factor in the implementation of CSP Strategic Outcome 3, Food Assistance for Assets (FFA). WFP reached nearly 20,000 children aged 6-23 months with a monthly ration of specialized nutritious food (Super Cereal Plus) for stunting prevention in partnership with the Ministry of Health. This nutrition-specific activity under CSP Strategic Outcome 1 was complemented with behaviour change communication at community level addressing pregnant or lactating women and girls. WFP provided technical assistance to smallholder farmer organizations and women entrepreneurs. As a result, they were able to sell biofortified products and fresh foods for the implementation of the national school feeding programme among others. WFP provided life-saving assistance to more than 10,000 people critically affected by the Fuego Volcano eruption. They received unconditional cash transfers for 90 days, which proved effective in preventing a decline in their nutritional status and reducing negative coping strategies.
