Summary of WFP Assistance: WFP provides technical assistance to the government in two priority areas. The first is in the design and implementation of the national school feeding programme, which is part of the country’s social safety nets. WFP’s technical assistance in this context focuses on i) Knowledge generation and management; ii) Strengthening and developing systems for impact monitoring; iii) Programme support and capacity building; and iv) Provision of policy and strategy advice on hunger related issues. The second priority area is to strengthen government capacity to assess, plan and respond to emergency food needs resulting from natural disasters and other shocks by providing technical assistance in the areas of i) Food Security Monitoring and Analysis; ii) Systems Strengthening; iii) Logistics Supply Chain Management; and iv) Capacity Building and Programme Support.
WFP’s assistance supports the government’s aim to attain the Millennium Development Goal 1 - to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger - and is consistent with Namibia’s development priorities and strategies for achieving national objectives, as laid out in its Vision 2030 and Fourth National Development Plan (NDP 4). WFP’s assistance is also in line with the UN Partnership Framework for 2014-2018, which defines the role of the UN system in Namibia.
