Resúmen
WFP continued to work closely with the Government of Namibia on its zero hunger agenda in 2018. Recognizing the importance of improved dietary diversity in schools, the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture, with technical support from WFP, initiated a home-grown school feeding programme. The programme additionally seeks to boost the local economy by creating employment opportunities in rural areas. Innovation was a key priority last year, with WFP piloting implementation of a digital beneficiary registration and targeting system (SCOPE) for the Government. This system aims to improve beneficiary targeting and reduce the operational cost of Namibia’s urban food safety net, the Food Bank. Similarly, the use of hydroponics was introduced with a view to improving the nutrition of assisted communities. In 2018 WFP focused on strengthening household, community and government capacities, as a key contribution to national efforts to achieve zero hunger.
