Summary
As the decades-long crisis worsened in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), WFP declared a Corporate Scale-Up emergency to intensify its operations. WFP reached 5.3 million with emergency food, cash, prevention and treatment of malnutrition, school meals programme and resilience-building activities in 2023. Specifically, WFP provided 116,000 mt of food and nutrition commodities, USD 88 million in cash-based transfers, and capacity strengthening activities. The total number of people reached by WFP in DRC reduced by 14 percent in comparison to 2022, however the average number of beneficiaries reached per month more than doubled (to 1.2 million people). This is because WFP's assistance strategy was revised to provide longer term emergency assistance (minimum of 6 months) in response to increasing needs, and to ensure an improvement in food security outcomes amid the Scale-Up. This approach also allowed WFP to ensure better quality of targeting and management of participant identities. For human capital development, WFP provided daily school meals to schoolchildren to ensure attendance in schools when open.
