Summary
In 2020, WFP Guatemala contributed to addressing malnutrition and food insecurity deepened by the COVID-19, directly benefiting about 200,000 people in the country and an estimated 750,000 people indirectly through capacity strengthening support to national institutions. In line with the Government's efforts to curb the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 on food security and nutrition, WFP scaled-up its emergency response operation and provided cash transfers to nearly 30,000 households, for a total of USD 3.4 million. The National School Feeding Programme, a key social protection programme, was seriously disrupted by the pandemic. Thus, WFP shifted its modality of assistance from hot meals on-site at school to take-home rations instead. WFP-supported smallholder farmers were able to supply fresh, locally grown foods to 33 schools.
