Résumé
Despite the adverse socio-economic implications of COVID-19, WFP proved its ability to navigate these challenges, adapting its operations to ensure that all women, men, girls and boys, refugees and host communities continued receiving timely assistance. Over 1 million Jordanians and refugees in communities and camps (54 percent of women and 46 percent of men) were reached. WFP expanded its assistance to include more refugees in host communities in response to the increasing vulnerabilities due to COVID-19, resulting in an overachievement of around 37 percent in Unconditional Food Transfers. In addition to the in-kind food distributions planned in camps and communities, WFP distributed ad-hoc food parcels to COVID-19 beneficiaries quarantined in camps who could not access the shops as well as date packs to vulnerable Jordanians in host communities. WFP worked closely with the Ministry of Education to develop the National School Feeding Strategy to enhance the efficiency of the school feeding programme. School feeding activities were significantly affected by the Government’s decision to close schools. The pandemic led WFP to suspend its school feeding activities, including distribution of date bars and healthy snacks for most of the year. Nevertheless, WFP succeeded to provide 416,000 students with nutritional food before the pandemic restrictions. Moreover, the Healthy Kitchens producing nutritional snacks for the schools generated job opportunities to over 3,800 vulnerable Jordanians and refugees’ workers.
