Summary
In 2023, WFP assisted 3.1 million people with food and nutrition assistance (versus 3.6 million planned) while advancing national objectives towards sustainable food systems. Through the integrated resilience programme, WFP supported 1.9 million people (versus 2.1 million planned) across 2,053 villages, including 53 newly supported in 2023. WFP’s resilience approach in Niger provides an integrated package of activities that included land rehabilitation through food assistance for assets (FFA), school feeding, targeted and preventive MAM supplementation programmes, and support to smallholder farmers. In line with its resilience progression strategy, 60,000 former FFA participants progressed towards receiving technical assistance only, linked to improved access to markets. In 2023, WFP expanded its resilience activities into fragile areas with high concentrations of displaced people, contributing to the operationalisation of the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. By combining the integrated resilience programme with social cohesion-building activities, WFP facilitated an effective transition of internally displaced persons, refugees and host populations out of prolonged humanitarian assistance towards more durable solutions to address their needs. WFP also sustained investments in the national social protection system to protect vulnerable populations from climate-related shocks, expanding the reach of national shock-responsive safety-nets by assisting 112,325 drought-affected people with year-round transfers.
