Summary
In response to the prolonged effects of COVID-19 and the 2022 economic crisis, 2023 saw a continuation of WFP’s emergency response, reaching over 3 million people vulnerable to food insecurity with cash-based transfers, in-kind food, and support to national social protection systems such as the National School Meals Programme (NSMP) and the Thriposha [3] programme. Based on the findings of the 2023 CFSAM, in June 2023, WFP revised its beneficiary targets downwards from 3.4 million to 2.4 million people. Out of this revised target, WFP reached 1.2 million people with targeted food assistance in districts facing acute food insecurity; 592,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under five received nutrition support (Thriposha); and 1 million schoolchildren received fortified rice and red lentils as part of the continued support to the NSMP across all 25 districts. In 2023, WFP also initiated its first effort to fortify rice. The locally blended fortified rice will be distributed through the national school meal programme to make the meals more nutritious and address micronutrient deficiencies.
