WFP Zimbabwe began the year under a Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) that helped more than 1.2 million people via lean season assistance (LSA), support to refugees and the health and nutrition interventions. In April, WFP transitioned to a Country Strategic Plan (CSP), one of the first such pilot programmes globally. Through the CSP, WFP assisted 638,783 people, far more than the planned 375,000 owing to a relatively severe seasonal food shortage and an increased inflow of refugees from countries in the region. Overall, in 2017, under both the PRRO and the CSP, WFP assisted more than 1.3 million people. The Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) programme expanded to reach 99,599 people and help create sustainable assets for resilient livelihoods while providing food and cash entitlements. WFP continued to expand its robust capacity-strengthening engagement with the Government and other partners. This centred on an expansion of the innovative threepronged approach (3PA) for evidence-based and partnered strategic and operational planning; support in the preparation of a national Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF) strategy; South-South cooperation exchanges with a focus on smallholder farmers and rural livelihoods; and the piloting of an integrated beneficiary management system for social protection.
