Summary
In January 2019, WFP launched the Rwanda Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2019–2023, which continued life-saving assistance for camp-based refugees and returnees, while progressively shifting towards building national capacity to formulate, manage and implement programmes for achieving SDG2. WFP assisted approximately 232,400 people through a combination of 7,552 mt of unconditional resource transfers (in-kind food) and USD 11.54 million of entitlements (cash-based transfers, CBT) to improve their food security and meet their nutrition needs. WFP contributed towards SDG target 2.2, by supporting the government to deliver nutritious foods to approximately 91,600 vulnerable people, including children and pregnant and lactating women and girls to prevent stunting among children under five years of age. Additionally, WFP supported effort towards SDG target 2.3 by assisting 72,000 smallholder farmers to improve productivity and incomes. WFP collaborated with FAO and UNICEF to support the government in strengthening social protection policy development focusing on nutrition, gender, child protection, and shock responsiveness. WFP maintained its provision of school meals through school feeding programmes, reaching 81,250 primary school-going children in areas with severe food insecurity. To reduce post-harvest waste, WFP participated in the technical working group initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources, which focused on combating aflatoxin; provided technical inputs in the development of national guidelines for improving the quality of post-harvest handling and storage of foods.
