During the first half of 2020 (January-June), WFP leveraged on funds received from the United Nations SDG 2030 Fund and WFP's emergency Immediate Response Account to strengthen national capacities to manage shock-responsive systems and food security, nutrition and social protection programmes and policies. Resilience building initiatives through the UN SDG 2030 Fund focused on promoting inclusive and efficient sustainable food systems to the Government and development partners, as well as creating economic pathways for smallholder farmers in-country. Meanwhile, the Immediate Response - Preparedness and Response Enhancement Programme (IR-PREP) leaned on capacity strengthening and emergency preparedness and response actions, mainly targeting national and local actors involved in the disaster risks reduction. Starting from July 2020, WFP implemented a Limited Emergency Operation (LEO) in support the national COVID-19 response, through relief food and nutrition assistance. Vulnerable people identified, targeted and assisted in collaboration with government and humanitarian partners included: (i) 225,000 household members of the 90,000 schoolchildren affected by the suspension of the Government-run school feeding programme; (ii) 6,750 children aged 6-23 months (reached through specialized nutritious foods); (iii) 15,000 people living with HIV and tuberculosis patients as well as their family members; and (iv) 2,500 quarantine households with a confirmed or trace case of COVID-19. WFP continues to provide technical assistance to the national school feeding programme to enhance a national model that promotes a more inclusive and integrated approach for diversified school meals, while linking smallholder farmers as main producers to schools (home-grown school feeding).
