In February, WFP’s Executive Board approved a new Country Strategic Plan for Madagascar (2024-2028). With a total budget of USD 659 million, the CSP strikes a balance between emergency response and longer-term investments in resilience-building, emergency preparedness, and social protection, including school-based programmes. Between March and December, WFP provided life-saving and life-changing assistance to a total of 2.39 million beneficiaries, of which 54 percent were female, surpassing the year’s targets by 175 percent. Duration of assistance averaged 54 days across all activities. Numbers of beneficiaries exceeded targets for unconditional resource transfers, malnutrition treatment programmes and actions to protect against climate shocks. In collaboration with the Ministry of National Education and with funding from the Government of Madagascar, WFP expanded its support to the national school meals programme to 1,219 primary schools across nine regions of the Highlands, South and Southeast of Madagascar. This marks a 26 percent increase in schools supported, compared to 2023.
