Operational Updates
• In April, as part of its emergency response, WFP provided unconditional in-kind food assistance to 165,680 acutely food-insecure people, including 17,670 refugees. Beneficiaries in all intervention areas received 75 percent rations due to resource constraints.
• Access constraints posed significant challenges to the delivery of assistance to hard-to-reach areas. In response, WFP airlifted 655 metric tons (mt) of emergency food and nutrition assistance using heavy-lift helicopters to Djibo, Gayeri, Kelbo, and Makoye, providing a lifeline for 52,190 acutely food-insecure people. This included 1,265 children aged 6–23 months and 1,290 pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBW/G), who received specialized nutritious foods to prevent malnutrition. WFP organized additional deliveries to Titao, an enclaved locality that had until recently been accessible only by air. As a last resort, WFP joined government-organized supply convoys to deliver assistance through high-risk areas, enabling the delivery of 806 mt of commodities to Tougouri and Gorom-Gorom.
• WFP distributed specialized nutritious foods to prevent malnutrition, reaching 2,770 children aged 6-23 months (51 percent girls) and 2,065 PBW/G. Nutrition messaging from WFP reached 8,660 people (72 percent women), raising awareness on good nutrition, hygiene, and optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.
• To manage moderate acute malnutrition, WFP provided specialized nutritious foods to 31,500 children aged 6-59 months (49 percent girls), and 16,770 PBW/G. In addition, 2,985 children aged 6-59 months were screened for malnutrition, resulting in the detection of 85 cases of moderate and six cases of severe acute malnutrition.
• The infant flour production units in Fada N'Gourma, Dori, and Ouahigouya received training on various topics, including organizational, financial, and human resource management, as well as marketing.
• WFP participated in the 2nd Forum of Parliamentarians on Nutrition, which aims to strengthen legislative engagement in the fight against malnutrition through budget advocacy, the integration of nutrition into laws and policies, and the monitoring of government commitments.
