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
Monitoring data collected on households’ food consumption scores (FCS) suggests no major changes to people’s
food security outlook during the last six months of 2016 (the first six months of PRRO 200907). At the household
level, FCS is collected, analysed and used as a proxy indicator for food access, based on the food groups that
households consumed during the seven days preceding the interview. The number of households with acceptable
FCS levels in December was largely unchanged from June, and remains below the project target of 60 percent [5].
There was a significant decrease in the percentage of households with poor FCS, from 23 percent in June to 5.6
percent in December. However, this may be explained by the increase in households with borderline FCS during the
same period (35 percent in June to 50 percent in December). It should also be noted that the latest follow-up FCS
figures were recorded in December, after the main crop harvest. Therefore the improved household dietary diversity
score, indicating beneficiaries had better access to nutritious foods, must be considered against this backdrop.
The improved monitoring questionnaire used under the new operation allowed for data collection about children
aged 6-59 months in WFP-assisted areas and provided valuable information on the population eligible for nutrition
assistance. Field monitoring data showed 75 percent of children aged 6-59 months attended children's institutions
supported by WFP (such as nurseries) and that 100 percent of these children participated in an adequate number of
WFP food ration distributions, significantly exceeding the corporate target for participation.
No agreement was reached in 2016 between the United Nations (UN) and the DPRK Government to conduct a
nutrition survey. As a result, no data were available on the prevalence of acute malnutrition among children aged
6-59 months. A Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey is expected to take place in 2017 which will provide data for future
monitoring in this area.

Strategic Objective:
Support or restore food security and nutrition and establish or rebuild livelihoods in fragile settings and following
emergencies (SO2)
Outcomes:
2.2 Improved access to assets and/or basic services, including community and market infrastructure
Activities:
Food for disaster risk reduction (FDRR)
WFP completed all five planned FDRR projects in autumn 2016 (activities are typically carried out in the spring and
autumn). Three of the projects focused on river bank rehabilitation in counties which had been seriously affected by
flooding following Typhoon Lionrock in August 2016—Hoerryong, Musan and Yonsa. WFP also implemented a river
bank rehabilitation project in Ryanggang province’s Samjiyon county and a tree planting project in South Pyongan
province’s Songchon county. These activities contributed to food security through enhancing environmental vitality,
offsetting disaster risk and protecting arable land.

Strategic Objective:
Support or restore food security and nutrition and establish or rebuild livelihoods in fragile settings and following
emergencies (SO2)
Outcomes:
2.4 Local manufacturing of specialized nutritious foods are sustained
Activities:
Production of fortified blended food (FBF) and fortified biscuits at WFP-supported local factories
WFP-supported local factories were successful in meeting their production targets, demonstrating the continued
appropriateness of utilising local production. The only month in which factories did not meet their planned output
was November, when production was intentionally lowered because of the availability of stock from the previous
