Project Objectives and Results
Project Objectives
Commencing in January 2016, WFP’s PRRO 200867 has an overarching focus on aligning its operational
objectives with the development priorities of the Government and focusing on the transition from relief to recovery.
This operation is aligned with WFP’s Strategic Objectives 1, 2 and 3. Under this operation, WFP's assistance
focuses on the improvement of food security and nutrition, disaster risk management, education, and other gaps
that exist for the most vulnerable. The emphasis is on maximising complementarity between interventions by
enhancing integration amongst different activities. The objectives of this operation are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Provision of relief and recovery assistance to the population affected by law enforcement operations in the
country’s north-west. This population includes families that remain displaced or have recently returned to their
areas of origin. The key objectives are to stabilise and forestall a deterioration in the food and nutrition security
of the targeted population and to facilitate the rehabilitation of the lives and livelihoods of the families that have
returned to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
Nutrition support interventions seek to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition across the country, and provide
technical and policy support to government-led initiatives that guide the Government's policy and programme
decisions in the same context. The nutrition interventions include: i) policy and advocacy; ii) the prevention and
management of malnutrition for the most vulnerable groups, including the prevention and treatment of acute
malnutrition, prevention of stunting, home food fortification to address micronutrient deficiencies, local
development and scaled-up production of specialised nutritious foods; and iii) universal salt iodisation and
wheat flour fortification.
Livelihoods and disaster risk reduction interventions seek to help communities build resilience to future natural
and human-induced shocks through asset creation and capacity development, while simultaneously providing
participants with food or cash resources to cater for their basic food needs. Disaster risk management
interventions support the strengthening of the Government's capacity at various levels to prepare for, assess
and respond to acute food insecurity arising from natural disasters.
The school feeding programme aims to stabilise enrolment, retention and attendance in primary schools while
contributing to the reduction of short-term hunger and the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies
among students in primary and pre-primary classes. The programme intends to reduce gender disparity in the
targeted schools and to promote access to secondary education for girls through the provision of cash grants as
an incentive conditional upon regular school attendance.
While the Government’s preparedness and response capability has increased, this project includes a
contingency, to be activated at the request of the Government, to provide additional resources to respond to any
medium to large-scale disaster, allowing flexibility and timeliness for a relief response.
Technical policy and advocacy support in the areas of food security, nutrition, and government-led school
feeding initiatives, which aims to augment the capacity of the Government and other development actors.
