Summary
In 2020, WFP reached over 390,000 beneficiaries with activities aimed at promoting food and nutrition security, working towards SDG 2. MAM treatment was provided to 12,300 children aged 6-59 months and 50,600 pregnant and lactating women and adolescent girls. Provision of specialized nutritious food was combined with SBCC to foster long-term behavioral change to prevent stunting. WFP continued to support smallholder farmers with interventions that aim to ensure productive and sustainable food systems including trainings, value addition activities and market access support. WFP and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) supported over 6,300 farmers (representing some 31,600 beneficiaries) to develop productive assets. WFP enhanced national capacities to address food security related challenges and disaster management and response. The main thrust of the CSP is a strategic shift from WFP driven to country owned interventions through strengthening national capacities in the areas of food security, nutrition, and supply chain. WFP provided technical assistance to MAF’s Programme, Evaluation, Monitoring and Statistics Division (PEMSD) to implement two rounds of the Food Security Monitoring System (FSMS). This aimed to augment the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) to regularly collect accurate food security and market price data. This invaluable data supported geographical targeting of the COVID-19 response to ensure that the needs of the most vulnerable were prioritized.
