Summary
WFP’s school feeding programme remains its largest operational component in Tajikistan, having supported around 552,800 primary schoolchildren in 1,860 schools in 53 districts and towns across the country. WFP provided technical support to elevate school feeding as a government priority. To enhance the school feeding initiative, a cash-based model known as the Funds Transfer Pilot (FTP) was introduced. The FTP allows for the decentralized procurement of food from local traders, which is used to prepare hot meals at the schools. Local procurement also boosts the local economy. As part of this model, the Government allocated funds to 43 schools that were previously supported by WFP as a first step towards establishing a national school feeding programme. WFP is assisting an additional 17 schools within this project. WFP implemented activities for the treatment and prevention of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in five districts of Khatlon and Sughd regions. The project is mandated to treat children aged 6-59 months who suffer from MAM by providing specialized nutritious food (SNF) in five target districts, reaching 5,202 beneficiaries in over 267 primary healthcare centres. WFP also responded to the food insecurity situation by providing food assistance to 205,464 people in 42 vulnerable districts from June-December 2023 to meet their urgent basic food needs.
