In 2023, WFP continued to implement its country strategic plan (CSP) in Lesotho, which was launched in 2019 to address the deep-rooted food insecurity and malnutrition in the country. Contributing to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 (Zero Hunger) and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), the CSP covers five strategic outcomes: crisis response, school feeding and emergency preparedness, nutrition, resilience building support to smallholder farmers facing climate shocks, and service delivery. In 2023, WFP reached 108,169 food insecure people through activities implemented under these broad strategic outcomes. WFP assisted over 32,000 people in five drought-affected districts with food assistance and provided cash-based transfers to 14,783 people who participated in the Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) intervention aimed at improving the adaptive, absorptive and transformative capacities of vulnerable people to climate shocks. Furthermore, WFP remained the largest provider of school meals at pre-primary level, supporting more than 45,200 children in 2,500 schools, including with home-grown school feeding.
