Project Objectives and Results
Project Objectives
The main objectives of country programme (CP) 200319 were to provide assistance to vulnerable communities to
improve their household food security and build resilience to face disasters.
To this end, the activities for 2016 were planned under four components:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Component 1: livelihoods and asset creation—WFP developed the resilience of communities to face disasters,
created productive assets and assisted vulnerable households with food rations and cash based transfers. WFP
also provided skills-based training to support the economic empowerment of rural women given the country's
large female presence (67 percent) in the agricultural work force.
Component 2: education support—WFP integrated complementary activities such as water sanitation and
hygiene interventions, early grade literacy and numeracy, digital literacy and school infrastructure development
into the school meals programme to reduce disparities in education outcomes.
Component 3: nutrition support—WFP continued the Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition programme to
contribute to government efforts to reduce chronic malnutrition prevalent in children aged 0-59 months (37.4
percent) through a stunting prevention programme for children aged 6-23 months and pregnant and lactating
women, complemented by a package of government nutrition services such as antenatal and postnatal
care at government health posts.
Component 4: capacity development—WFP provided general capacity development across the project’s three
components and in food security monitoring, logistics and telecommunications.
The project contributed to WFP’s Strategic Objective 3: Reduce risk and
to meet their own food and nutrition needs and Strategic Objective
intergenerational cycle of hunger. The project was designed in line with
