ملخص
In 2020, WFP has continued to make significant contributions to i) providing sustainable access to food for schoolchildren; ii) reducing stunting levels among children aged 6–23 months; iii) enhancing community resilience to seasonal and long-term shocks and stresses; and iv) strengthening capacities in national and local governance institutions. While COVID-19 did impact the implementation of activities in 2020 and the achievement of annual CSP targets, WFP was still able to achieve notable results given a healthy funding situation. Together with the Government of Lao PDR, WFP managed to reach almost 200,000 beneficiaries located in rural and remote areas of Lao PDR. Through activities focused on school feeding, improved nutrition, resilience building, emergency response and Government capacity strengthening, WFP and partners distributed over 3,100 mt of food and transferred over USD 625,000 in cash. While most of the food was earmarked for school feeding activities, cash was transferred to individuals and groups at risk of vulnerability for the creation of productive assets and livelihood opportunities for resilience (USD 70,000) as well as to quarantine centres to provide food assistance to returning migrants (USD 555,000). Together with key partners, WFP distributed over 300,000 meals to 20,000 beneficiaries at 7 quarantine centres across Lao PDR. Capacity strengthening support in 2020 was largely focused on enhancing Government and community capacities to ensure smooth handover of the remaining 918 schools to the Government in mid-2021. Additionally, government and communities benefited from enhanced capacities in nutrition-sensitive agriculture, community asset management and maintenance, reducing post-harvest losses and climate-resilient agriculture. Importantly, WFP supported the Government in the development of several key national food security and nutrition policies, programmes and system components, including sectoral inputs to the next five-year National Plan of Action on Nutrition, the establishment of the Technical Working Group for Food Fortification leading to the development of first draft of rice fortification standards, disaster risk management in agriculture guidelines, cash and voucher assistance guidelines and the logistics preparedness action plan.
