Summary
The escalation in food insecurity levels, particularly the severe cases, underscored the deepening crisis at the community level. WFP responded with targeted interventions that provided not only immediate relief but also aimed at sustainable solutions. Among the key achievements was the substantial increase in cash-based transfers (CBT). In 2022, 14,540 beneficiaries received CBT, while in 2023, this number rose to 54,627, marking a 276 percent increase and significantly aiding those most affected by food insecurity, with women making up 67 percent of people WFP serves. WFP's contributions extended beyond emergency responses, emphasizing capacity building and sustainable development. A notable success was the procurement of 125 mt of local rice from smallholder farmers, injecting approximately USD 93,000 into the local economy. This effort supported immediate nutritional needs and strengthened local agricultural markets, fostering long-term economic stability. The School Feeding Programme marked a significant stride in improving school nutrition, reaching 235,660 children across five districts.
