WFP's transitional Interim Country Strategic Plan (ICSP) for 2018 aimed to address Togo's food and nutrition insecurity by strengthening the capacity of national institutions and public and private sector stakeholders to better manage the Government-led school feeding programme and to improve monitoring and evaluation systems. Training sessions on school feeding management, culinary demonstrations and sensitization on good hygiene practices were provided to a total of 4,575 school feeding actors including 348 school directors, 107 NGO staff, 1,653 women in charge of school meal preparation, 2,467 members of school canteen committees and three officials from the Ministries of Grassroots Development and Education. WFP sensitized 70,000 schoolchildren, of which 49 percent were girls and 51 percent were boys, aged between 6 and 14 years, on appropriate nutrition and hygiene practices in 306 schools. Furthermore, WFP trained 138 healthcare givers, national focal points for HIV and TB on how to conduct nutrition assessments and counselling services (NASC) to people living with HIV and TB patients including pregnant and lactating women.
