WFP reached over 760,000 people with direct assistance and indirectly benefited 30,700 people with assets, capacity and services as well as 910,000 people through national policies and programmes. During 2023, WFP's operations focused on enhancing national capacities for local food production and its link to social protection programmes. By supporting national institutions, WFP reached boys, girls, pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls, the elderly, people in vulnerable conditions and persons living with disabilities. WFP paid particular attention to school feeding linked to local smallholder farmers, climate resilience and risk management, support to malnutrition prevention, and social protection with an emphasis on targeting tools, interoperability of information systems and emergency preparedness and response. WFP supported the procurement and distribution of rice, grains, vegetable oil, micronutrient powders, blended fortified foods and milk to support authorities' pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2) (Zero Hunger). WFP was purchased and received 5,535 mt, of which about 3,726 mt were distributed in different operations.
