Project Objectives and Results
Project Objectives
PRRO 200532’s main objective was the prevention of undernutrition. The average household in DPRK regularly
consumes a diet below acceptable levels of food diversity. WFP targeted children, and pregnant and lactating
women (PLW), since these groups were particularly at risk of malnutrition. Assistance was delivered through the
provision of specialised fortified foods which provided much needed vitamins, minerals, protein and fats.
Furthermore, the project aimed to support the Government in reducing hunger and undernutrition through the local
production of fortified blended food (FBF) and fortified biscuits. PRRO 200532 also aimed to enhance food security
by implementing activities to mitigate disaster risk and increase agricultural output. Nutrition assistance was
prioritised under the project, and food for community development (FFCD) activities were carried out on a smaller
scale.
Project activities planned for 2016 included:
1.
2.
3.
Continued provision of nutrition support to children and PLW in the form of nutrient-dense FBF and fortified
biscuits. Food rations for children will be delivered through institutions such as orphanages (including baby
homes, children's centres and boarding schools), nurseries, kindergartens, primary schools and hospitals. PLW
will receive food rations on a monthly basis through government-run public distribution centres.
Continued production of FBF at WFP-supported local factories.
Continued FFCD activities including dredging river banks 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,
pregnant and lactating women (PLW), and school-aged children
Activities:
Nutrition assistance to targeted beneficiary groups
PRRO 200532’s nutrition assistance targeted those WFP deemed to be the most in need: children aged 6-59
months, primary school-aged children and PLW. Given that a lack of good nutrition during the first 1,000 days of a
child's life is particularly detrimental to their healthy development, young children and PLW were given preference
within the PRRO in the event of breaks in assistance as a result of resource shortages.
WFP continued to implement its nutrition assistance programme through the provision of fortified blended food
(FBF) and fortified biscuits to beneficiaries. The programme for the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM)
was delivered through targeted supplementary feeding, while other aspects of nutrition support were implemented
through blanket supplementary feeding.
