During the end of its 2018-2023 Country Strategic Plan (CSP)-January to June 2023- WFP continued to align its efforts in Egypt to reaching the most vulnerable through securing basic food and nutritional needs; building livelihoods; and strengthening the Government’s institutional capacities. WFP and the Government implemented development programmes addressing the vulnerable communities' needs and the global food crisis's impacts on Egyptian and refugee communities. WFP distributed in-school snacks to over 116,000 community school students1 , amounting to over 835 mt, complementing the country's national school feeding programme. Fortified date-bars distributed in schools helped secure the daily minimum caloric needs of students. WFP also provided monthly cash to 176,000 family members of community school students to secure their basic needs and encourage student attendance. To help meet their basic needs, cash assistance was provided to 100,000 refugees from 10 nationalities who were identified among the most in need. WFP also provided cash assistance to over 3,500 pregnant and breastfeeding refugee women to incentivise their pre- and post-natal medical follow-ups.
