In the second year of its five-year CSP, WFP Zimbabwe sought to integrate its humanitarian and resilience-building activities via a suite of interlinked programming to advance sustainable progress towards zero hunger. While WFP initially aimed to invest more in resilience-building, a surge in emergency needs owing to a recurrence of drought and growing economic uncertainty, necessitated an increase in lean season support. Across all its direct food assistance activities, WFP supported some 655,000 people, via cash-based transfers, which by end of year accounted for about 70 percent of all distributions. Increased humanitarian needs did not diminish the focus on resilience. WFP reinforced capacity-strengthening engagement with the Government and other partners, particularly focusing on expansion of the Three-Pronged Approach (3PA) for evidence-based planning. It also used south-south cooperation exchanges to improve support to smallholder farmers and home-grown school feeding policies.
