Summary
Throughout the year, WFP assisted over 390,000 people with food (4,600 mt), cash (USD 246,863), technical support on nutrition and other forms of assistance, representing 37 percent more direct beneficiaries than the previous year. Support for the National School Meals Programme (NSMP) remained the foundation of WFP’s engagement in the country. With a national coverage of 25 percent, the NSMP offers daily nutritious meals to 198,000 schoolchildren, of which 69,000 attend 705 schools directly supplied and supported by WFP. In schools where the NSMP is managed by the Government, WFP provided 1,150 mt of food to offset costs for communities and public finances in times of hardship. Additionally, 250 mt of rice was distributed to 8,479 students in ethnic boarding schools and schools for persons with disabilities. With support from WFP, a shift was initiated toward a home-grown school feeding model, where direct food commodity supply is complemented and gradually phased out by introducing and integrating more locally-produced food for school meals.
