Operational Updates
• WFP assisted 1,800 food-insecure people (53 percent women) affected by climate-related disasters in the departments of San Miguel, Sonsonate, La Libertad, La Paz, San Vicente and Cuscatlán. Monthly USD 120 were transferred per household to cover their immediate food needs.
• On 15 October, WFP provided seed capital to 45 bakery micro-enterprises led by participants of the Innova Bakery project. This initiative trains small-scale entrepreneurs to produce healthier and innovative bakery products. The seed capital was delivered according to the business plans prepared by the micro-entrepreneurs to enhance their businesses.
• WFP delivered 372 kits of insecticides, fungicides, acaricides and bactericides for crop protection in resilience and early recovery interventions. WFP supported 400 beneficiaries in producing organic fertilisers (bokashi and biofertilisers) and built 3,000 linear metres of soil and water conservation works (infiltration ditches, living barriers, stubble management). In the resilience phase, WFP continues with the implementation of staggered production plans so that the communities have food available for most of the year as well as a surplus for marketing.
• Young people from Gastrolab trained 102 smallholder farmers (75 percent women) of the resilience-building programme from the department of La Unión in fruit and vegetable processing. The beneficiaries learned how to maximize the potential of their local harvests and increase their income by producing jams, pickled vegetables, and sauces.
