Throughout 2019, assistance has been provided to internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees and food-insecure residents, with programmes focusing on crisis response, improving nutrition and building resilience, in order to save lives and create opportunities for longer-term sustainable development. WFP also provided critical logistics and information and communication technology (ICT) services to the humanitarian and development community, and the WFP-managed United Nation Humanitarian Air Services enabled access to hard-to-reach locations. WFP was able to assist 3.8 million people in 2019 (78.5 percent of the plan) across 13 States through the provision of food and CBT to crisis-affected people, nutrition activities, school meals and productive safety nets. 2019 also marked several breakthroughs in terms of delivering assistance and reaching people in need. In the last quarter of the year, areas of Blue Nile and South Kordofan States became accessible to UN humanitarian assistance for the first time since 2011 and WFP provided food assistance in coordination with other UN agencies when the opportunity arose. WFP continued to support national efforts on food fortification to enhance the development of sustainable solutions. WFP also engaged with the private sector to build innovative approaches, such as the retailing of a micronutrient powder to fight micronutrient deficiencies and to reach farmers through different communication channels, providing information about PHL and the use of hermetic bags to mitigate losses. To reduce carbon emissions through renewable energy initiatives, WFP is implementing a solar power installation project at several of its facilities.
