Project Objectives and Results
Project Objectives
PRRO 200907 is aimed at preventing undernutrition among women and children through the provision of
specialised foods which are rich in nutrients often missing from their diets. The average household in
DPRK consumes on a regular basis a diet below acceptable levels of food diversity. This is a particularly serious
problem for young children and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). The programme thus prioritises and aims to
provide an essential baseline of nutrition support for these most vulnerable groups. The project covers 60 counties
in DPRK, reduced from the 87 covered under the previous PRRO 200532 in light of consistent funding shortfalls
during that operation. PRRO 200907 also aims to support the DPRK Government in reducing hunger and
undernutrition through the local production of the fortified foods which are distributed to beneficiaries, thereby
enhancing local production capacity. Finally, PRRO 200907 aims to enhance food security by implementing
activities to mitigate disaster risk and increase agricultural output.
Project activities planned for 2016 included:
1.
2.
3.
Continued provision of nutrition support to children and PLW in the form of fortified blended food (FBF) and
fortified biscuits, which contain vitamins, minerals, proteins and fats. Rations for children will be delivered
through children’s institutions such as nurseries and paediatric wards of hospitals. PLW will receive food rations
on a monthly basis through government-run public distribution centres, using WFP ration cards.
Continued production of FBF at WFP-supported local factories.
Food for disaster risk reduction activities including embankment fortification, agricultural land protection and tree
planting.

Strategic Objective:
Support or restore food security and nutrition and establish or rebuild livelihoods in fragile settings and following
emergencies (SO2)
Outcomes:
2.1 Adequate food consumption reached or maintained over assistance period for targeted households and
2.3 Stabilised or reduced undernutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies among children aged 6-59 months,
preschool children, and pregnant and lactating women (PLW)
Activities:
Nutrition assistance to targeted beneficiary groups
WFP’s nutrition assistance programme supported PLW, children aged 6-59 months, orphans at boarding schools
and children in paediatric wards. These vulnerable groups are largely the same beneficiary groups supported under
the previous programme, with the notable exception that WFP no longer targets orphanages (including baby homes
and children centres) since they were observed to be receiving increased government support. However, nutrition
