In 2020, an unprecedented year with devastating impacts across all sectors caused by COVID-19, WFP supported a total of 233,122 of the poorest and most food insecure women and men, boys and girls in all seven provinces of Kyrgyzstan. WFP continued to focus on school meals optimization, support for poor smallholder farmers, building resilience to shocks, climate change adaptation and strengthening capacities of national institutions for integrated food and nutrition security. WFP continued to provide significant policy and legislative support in the area of social protection. WFP, along with the Inter-Ministerial Working Group and the World Bank, contributed to designing and integrating the Social Contract, a tool to activate the poor’s labour potential to take proactive steps to get out of poverty, into the national social protection system. In the education sector, WFP supported the Government in developing the ‘Organization of School Meals in Kyrgyzstan’ decree. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, WFP adjusted its school feeding activities through the introduction of take-home rations as a safety net and a ‘School Meals at Home’ nutrition awareness campaign to satisfy the nutritional requirements of schoolchildren during the remote learning period.
