This country strategic plan marks a shift in WFP’s approach in Côte d’Ivoire, with stronger emphasis on capacity strengthening with a view to shifting WFP-led programmes to government and community ownership. WFP’s assistance to the Government in achieving food and nutrition security will be based on five mutually reinforcing strategic outcomes: Strategic outcome 1: Primary-school-age children and their households in food-insecure areas have access to adequate and nutritious food all year. Strategic outcome 2: Populations affected by shocks have access to food to cover their basic food and nutritional needs during and in the aftermath of shocks. Strategic outcome 3: Vulnerable food-insecure populations in targeted areas – in particular children, women of child-bearing age and people living with HIV – have improved nutritional status by 2023. Strategic outcome 4: Targeted populations and communities have stronger livelihoods, are more resilient to climate and other shocks and benefit from more efficient and equitable value chains and sustainable food systems by 2023. Strategic outcome 5: National institutions have strengthened capacity to better target and manage food security, nutrition and social protection programmes by 2023.
