Contributing to SDG 2, WFP assisted over 125,000 people through emergency food and nutrition assistance, capacity strengthening, resilience-building activities, including enhanced shock-responsive social protection programmes. Depending on the context, assistance was provided either through in-kind food distributions or cash-based transfers. Further, specialized nutritious foods were provided to pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls and children aged 6-59 months to treat moderate acute malnutrition. More specially, under the refugee activities, WFP provided essential food assistance to more than 33,000 refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, addressing their immediate food and nutritional requirements. Simultaneously, WFP provided food assistance to more than 31,000 people affected by shocks to prevent further exacerbation of food insecurity. In tandem with these efforts, WFP implemented resilience initiatives, benefitting more than 30,000 individuals. These initiatives aimed not only to enhance food security and nutrition but also to strengthen national social protection systems, thereby laying the groundwork for long-term sustainability. Moreover, WFP implemented nutrition interventions to prevent and treat Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM), reaching more than 11,000 children aged 6 to 59 months, as well as 6,000 Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women and Girls (PBW/Gs).
