Of these, 259 girls and 247 boys were referred for Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) treatment, while 51 girls and 60 boys required Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) treatment. Social and Behaviour Change and Communication (SBCC) efforts reached 1,047 pregnant and nursing women, and 931 men, promoting better nutrition practices. Additionally, 818 girls and 812 boys aged 6-24 months living in IDP sites of the metropolitan area received Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements (LNS) through the Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programme (BSFP), while 885 households with pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBWG) and/or children aged 6-24 months old received cash transfers to prevent malnutrition.
• Furthermore, WFP supported the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour in implementing the Adaptive Social Protection for Increased Resilience project (social protection), providing assistance to 129,770 beneficiaries with USD 2.62 million distributed.
• In parallel, WFP conducted an institutional assessment of the Ministry of Social Affairs' Directorates to identify key improvements for the institutionalization of its social registry. The assessment will support informed decision-making on institutional and systems strengthening, aiming to enhance the Ministry’s capacity to manage and coordinate social protection programmes. This effort is significant for fostering government ownership, strengthening national systems, and contributing to poverty alleviation.
