The year 2019 was marked by increased humanitarian needs due to the escalation of intercommunal violence and attacks by armed groups in northern and central Mali, forcing large population displacement. WFP responded to the crisis by providing emergency cash-based transfers and in-kind assistance to meet vulnerable families' basic food and nutrition needs. This intervention played a critical role in maintaining acceptable food consumption among IDPs, filling vulnerable families’ food gaps and addressing situations of acute malnutrition among children and pregnant and lactating women. Despite resourcing and security constraints, WFP pursued its investment to build resilience among targeted populations by strengthening their absorptive, adaptative and transformative capacities through a community-based multisectoral and integrated package. This combined stunting prevention, school feeding and support to livelihoods, value chain and overall environmental rehabilitation, in line with national policies and frameworks, particularly the Global Alliance for Resilience (AGIR) coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture. In an effort to ensure effective management of food security and nutrition policies and programmes, WFP supported the Government of Mali and the civil society in the preparation, coordination and implementation of the national response plan as well as the different national programmes and strategies.
