In 2023, WFP and partners assisted 985,000 people, 86 percent of whom received support to meet their food needs, primarily through the lean season assistance programme. WFP went beyond food assistance, strengthening partnerships to bridge the humanitarian-development gap and connecting food assistance programmes with resilience-building activities, to help vulnerable households gradually reduce reliance on assistance. WFP strengthened collaboration with the Government and non-governmental organisations, coordinating to assist food-insecure communities and build (sub)national systems, tools, and capacities. During the January-March 2023 lean season, WFP provided food assistance to food-insecure rural households, meeting the targeted number of beneficiaries. However, resource limitations affected the scale of assistance, especially in urban areas. WFP supported 200,000 people under the integrated resilience-building programme. This programme encompassed asset creation, climate risk management, urban food security, livelihood opportunities (both on- and off-farm), improved access to finance and markets, and enhanced social cohesion within target communities to bolster resilience.
