Summary
In 2020, WFP helped provide life-saving assistance for refugees and returnees while at the same time progressively shifting towards strengthening national capacity to formulate, manage and implement programmes for achieving SDG2. WFP assisted 256,194 people through a combination of 4,338 mt of in-kind food and USD 12,503,485 of cash-based transfers (CBT) to improve food security and nutrition needs, including 5,472 people with disabilities (2,688 men and 2,784 women). WFP contributed to national social protection policy discussions to operationalise more shock-responsive social protection. WFP also complemented capacity strengthening activities through coordination of agricultural value chains, linking WFP-supported farmers to formal markets and facilitating access to essential post-harvest handling and storage (PHHS) equipment for 29,680 individual farmers (51 percent women). In response to the Covid-19 outbreak, WFP adapted its programming and prioritized the implementation of humanitarian assistance to refugees and support to smallholder farmers as farming activities were prioritized by the Government. School feeding activities were suspended from the onset of the pandemic until October, though WFP continued to provide food assistance to school children and their families through alternative take-home rations. WFP played an integral role providing technical support in the newly formed Development Partner groups to address the pandemic and socio-economic recovery efforts. WFP also supported the Ministry of Health through the provision of supplies to combat the pandemic and supported food assistance for Rwandans living with HIV impacted by the crisis.
