In 2023, WFP reached 112,214 (50 percent female) with food assistance, nutrition improvement support, smallholder farmer support, disaster risk management, and social protection interventions. Across its programming, WFP integrated nutrition and gender aspects, especially for women, youth, and people with disabilities, ensuring that assistance was inclusive and nutritionally sensitive. WFP continued to provide cash assistance and nutrition improvement interventions to over 8,000 crisis-affected people in Zambia, including refugees and asylum seekers. To promote the self-reliance of refugees in the Mantapala refugee settlement, WFP launched the strengthened livelihoods activity to equip 1,200 farmers (1,000 refugees, 200 host community members) with skills and supplies, using a Farmer Learning Hub model for knowledge transfer and collective learning. WFP supported the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services in training 122 (61 percent female) extension workers and leading farmers in food processing, preservation activities, and nutrition education.
