Summary
In Tajikistan, WFP is assisting national authorities to ensure access to nutritious and sufficient food for all people, end malnutrition, build sustainable food systems and resilience to climate change and, in cooperation with other development partners, strengthen national capacities to implement the SDGs. The school feeding programme continues to be WFP’s largest operational component in Tajikistan, having supported more than 420,000 primary schoolchildren in about 2,000 schools in 52 districts across the country from July until December 2019. WFP continued to work with the Government, regional authorities and school personnel to facilitate a gradual transition of the WFP-led school feeding programme to a nationally owned and managed programme by 2021. To diversify the schoolchildren’s diets and enhance the implementation of the school feeding, WFP equipped pilot schools with new kitchen equipment, bakeries and greenhouses. WFP addressed the resilience-building component through a twofold approach. At the local level, WFP implemented food assistance for assets (FFA) and food for training (FFT) projects to build rural communities’ resilience to recurring shocks and rehabilitate community assets in line with district development plans. From January until June 2019, WFP worked on 16 FFA projects reaching more than 2,000 vulnerable households through food assistance and, increasingly, through cash transfers. WFP also contributed to alleviating and mitigating environmental degradation and its consequences through climate change adaptation activities in support of rural communities that are dependent on land for their livelihood and food.
