In January 2019, WFP transitioned from the protracted relief and recovery operation (PRRO 200844) to a 3-year interim country strategic plan (ICSP) (2019-2021). In total, WFP assisted 3.6 million people through its activities – an increase of 55 percent from 2018, of which 53 percent were women and girls. Through the ICSP, WFP has adopted a holistic approach that recognises the interconnected nature of relief, nutrition, resilience, food systems, capacity strengthening, and partnership. WFP implemented relief, broader safety-net and resilience-strengthening activities in partnership with the government and other actors, working across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus in order to address humanitarian challenges and root causes of vulnerabilities; interventions aimed to better integrate and support long-term and sustainable solutions. WFP and partners provided food assistance to more than 2.6 million people to improve their overall food security. Under SDG 2.2, WFP, partners, and government assisted 420,000 women and children with interventions to prevent and treat acute malnutrition. Across WFP’s school feeding programme, a total of 164,700 children were assisted through a combination of unconditional resource transfers and entitlements (in-kind food and cash-based transfers (CBT, vouchers) respectively. The home-grown school feeding activity was expanded from eight to 103 schools, reaching 40,000 boys and girls. Vouchers were distributed to encourage consumption of nutritious and diverse local foods in schools, as well as promote community engagement and sustainability though the involvement of local smallholder farmers and retailers.
