Summary
Between 2018 and 2019, WFP Guinea has continuously developed collaboration and synergies with the Government and other stakeholders to reinforce and complement activities under school feeding (strategic objective1) nutrition prevention and (strategic objective 2) and livelihood and resilience programmes targeting smallholder farmers (strategic objective 3). From January to June 2019, under these 3 pillars, WFP targeted the most food insecure regions in the country, assisted more than 120,000 school children, of whom 45 percent were girls, reached 12,830 children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women and girls (PLWG) through activities of acute malnutrition prevention, while 6,769 PLWG received specialized nutritious foods (SNFs) and sensitization to help fight chronic malnutrition through the “1,000 days project”. WFP Guinea also provided nutrition assistance to people living with HIV and Tuberculosis (PLHIV/TB) and their households. Actual total number of beneficiaries is about 5 percent lower than estimated, which is mainly due to teachers' strikes that significantly hampered school feeding activities. WFP continued capacity strengthening activities with school canteen management committees, focusing on efficient management driven by the communities in order to maintain ownership and sustainability. WFP supported the National Directorate of School Feeding with targeting and monitoring missions in rural areas. The country office provided financial and technical support to 25 farmers' organizations involved in horticulture and 12 unions in rice production and parboiling, and through its interventions, the country office fostered gender equality and women’s empowerment, created employment opportunities; and enhanced resilience to shocks.
