• WFP has developed a gender market assessment to understand the different roles and responsibilities of men, women, boys and girls, and identify existing barriers that women face. The evidence generated from the study will be used to formulate recommendations to enhance women’s participation across the value chain of the Homegrown school feeding programme. The first phase of the data collection was undertaken in Artibonite, with plans to conduct the second phase late January or early February in Nippes.
• WFP delivered training to its partner staffs and agricultural production organisation in Artibonite to improve planning, purchases and quality control processes of fresh products supplied to the homegrown school feeding programme.
