Summary
In 2023, due to worsening climatic factors, WFP increased its coverage to meet increased needs, reaching more people than planned. WFP assisted 3.15 million individuals, comprising girls, boys, women, and men, including 19,000 persons with disabilities. This was a 13 percent increase in people assisted compared to 2022, and 141 percent of the planned number. WFP collaborated with the Government to assist people in southern Madagascar during cyclones and droughts, providing food assistance and cash transfers to 2 million people across 27 affected districts. Additionally, as part of the response, WFP offered preventive supplementary feeding to 52,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as 105,000 children aged 6 to 59 months. WFP continued to be the largest provider of school meals, supporting 361,000 children in 988 public schools. In 2023, WFP expanded its home-grown school meals programme from 123 schools in 2022 to 348 schools in 2023, promoting local procurement of fresh food from smallholder farmers. School attendance rates in 2023 increased to 82 percent from 76 percent in 2022. WFP scaled up nutrition interventions, providing treatment and prevention support to 28,000 children, 35,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women, 13,000 tuberculosis patients, and 11,000 people living with HIV.
