In Timor Leste, the CSP aims to leverage WFP’s comparative advantages in support of national priorities to end hunger and malnutrition through two Strategic Outcomes: Strategic Outcome 01: Children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and adolescent girls in Timor-Leste have improved nutrition towards national targets by 2025 Strategic Outcome 02: National and sub-national government institutions have increased capacity to sustainably deliver food, nutrition and supply chain related services by 2020 Under the treatment and prevention of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) programmes, WFP assisted children aged 6-59 months, adolescents and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Stronger focus was directed to prevention, with a comprehensive social behaviour change communication strategy around nutrition that reached more people than planned, promoting optimal maternal, infant and young child nutrition practices, increased diet diversity, health, sanitation and hygiene in schools and communities. WFP also provided technical support for strategic planning of school feeding in the Special Administrative Region of Oecusse, assessing the situation and making recommendations to strengthen the programme’s effectiveness and efficiency. WFP strengthened government capacities on supply chain management systems. Provision of technical support and training to several institutions at the national and sub-national level took place throughout the year, including an emergency logistics training as a critical backbone to emergency preparedness and response.
