The increased coverage of humanitarian and safety net assistance and the easing of some of the key drivers of food insecurity resulted in all population groups assisted in Lebanon experiencing improvements to their food security situation in 2023. In this challenging context, WFP continued to play a critical role in maintaining people's access to food and essential needs and strengthening the capacity of national institutions. In 2023, WFP supported over 1.3 million refugees and 840,000 Lebanese nationals, with an equal distribution of assistance between men and women[1], and 4 percent persons with disabilities. In addition, WFP implemented cash transfers for an additional 416,000 Lebanese individuals through the Government’s Emergency Social Safety Net. During 2023, WFP demonstrated an increased accountability towards affected populations by ensuring safer and more dignified access to assistance for marginalized people. WFP supported the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in joining the School Meals Coalition and developing a national roadmap for the establishment of a national school feeding programme.
