Operational Updates
- In October, 1.5 million people received food and nutritional assistance through emergency response, malnutrition treatment and prevention, as well as support to build resilience. WFP assisted 70 percent of the vulnerable populations targeted for October.
- With substantial support from the Government and other donors, WFP helped the Government of Chad to provide unconditional assistance to 870,000 people in response to the lean season. This represents 91 percent of the targeted people.
- Chad experienced a record influx of new arrivals from Sudan, representing 160 percent more than in September. The country now hosts 712,300 new refugees (UNHCR) and 223,000 new Chadian returnees (IOM). Since the beginning of the crisis, WFP has assisted 768,600 refugees, returnees and host populations affected by the Sudan crisis in Chad.
- Against record levels of flooding affecting 1.9 million people throughout the country, WFP will support the government’s flood contingency plan by assisting 508,000 people in N’Djamena, the Lac (west), Sila (east), Mandoul and Mayo Kebbi Est (south) provinces, including 106,000 people through the anticipatory actions providing unconditional cash-based assistance. Some 50,000 people will receive nutritional assistance. WFP’s floods response is 57 percent funded and still requires USD 8.1 million to be adequately scaled-up.
- WFP provided emergency nutritional assistance to 239,000 children under five and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBW/G), or 100 percent of the targeted people. However, only 30 percent of the targeted people received WFP’s malnutrition prevention and related nutrition services due to critical funding gaps and logistic constraints.
- During the 2024 – 2025 school year WFP will provide school meals to 205,000 schoolchildren in 463 schools. Additional 115,000 schoolchildren and 787 cooks in 90 schools in refugee camps will receive emergency school feeding, representing 10 more schools than the previous school year. However, the start of the school year is at risk due to the lack of teachers in schools, combined with significant funding gaps for the school feeding activities.
- WFP is digitizing its assistance using the beneficiary information and transfer management platform SCOPE, including the in-kind distributions in refugee camps, using commodity vouchers. In addition to securing assistance transfer from its creation to the delivery, SCOPE helps to enhance the impact of WFP operations by ensuring the right person receives the intended assistance, at the right time and in the best way.
