Government's basic package of health services programmes at clinics across the country; and securing social
equity and investing in human capital – vocational skills training to enhance workforce participation and school

For disaster risk reduction (DRR), WFP is in the process of expanding joint programming with partner United
Nations agencies. To bring coherence to DRR programming at the interagency level, WFP has established and
leads the DRR Working Group under the United Nations Country Team (UNCT). Asset creation for the most
shock-prone and frequently food-insecure districts and communities has benefited from expanded strategic
partnerships and joint programmes with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), FAO, the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Ministry of Rehabilitation and Rural Development, the Ministry of
Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, and the National Environmental Protection Agency.
WFP is the co-lead with FAO for the Food Security and Agriculture cluster under the Humanitarian Country Team
and is an active member of the Nutrition Cluster. Humanitarian food security and nutrition activities are included in
the Humanitarian Response Plan which is reviewed annually.
In 2016, emphasis has been put on knowledge exchange and capacity development in support of a Strategic Grain
Reserve project, for which WFP has been in close coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and
Livestock.
