ملخص
The year was challenging, as COVID-19 hit when Zambia was just starting to recover from two consecutive droughts, with containment measures disrupting food supply chains and affecting people’s livelihoods and food security. WFP reached over 1 million people with food/cash assistance and integrated smallholder and nutrition support interventions in 2020. In addition, WFP provided logistical support and technical assistance to the Government to effectively deliver food assistance in selected targeted districts. As part of its support to crisis-affected people, WFP provided food assistance to over 15,000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and over 640,000 drought-affected people across 16 districts. Additionally, WFP implemented the COVID-19 response, providing cash to over 300,000 vulnerable people impacted by the pandemic in six urban districts. WFP and partners worked to strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers against climate and other shocks, with almost 20,000 smallholder farmers assisted with farming inputs and over 60,000 trained in conservation agriculture (CA) practices, post-harvest management and financial management. WFP also supported nearly 7,000 smallholder farmers who suffered from crop losses due to early-season dry spells during the 2019/20 farming season to access the weather index insurance scheme. In addition, WFP collaborated with the Government in gathering and disseminating climate information using community-early warning systems, enabling smallholder farmers to make informed decisions on agricultural production. WFP contributed to the development and launch of the first-ever national Home-Grown School Meals (HGSM) Strategy and Decentralised Procurement Strategy, as well as supported MoGE to establish hydroponics gardens in schools for use as nutrition education sites and for producing fresh vegetables to diversify meals for school children.
