In Sao Tome and Principe, the Government has integrated the 2030 Agenda and has adopted the zero hunger strategic review (ZHSR) report in April 2018 as a road map for achieving zero hunger in the country. Complementing the Government's efforts, WFP has been providing support in line with the national context. Over the years, WFP's operations transitioned from providing direct food assistance to strengthening national institutional capacities to autonomously implement the school feeding programme and improve market access for smallholder farmers. WFP funded and facilitated a number of capacity strengthening activities, including the revision of the school feeding law and the provision of assets and equipment to improve their performance in implementing socially sustainable nutrition-sensitive and smallholder-friendly home-grown school feeding programme, as well as related food security and nutrition policies and programmes nationwide. Additionally, WFP funded two training sessions organized by CADR to its personnel on the supply chain management of equipment and work tools, and it provided assets and equipment to support production activities of men and women smallholders, and stimulate their access to markets. Lastly, WFP supported the Government in promoting national dialogue about food security and nutrition in the country, including the need to encourage women smallholders to deliver healthy and quality products to school canteens.
