Operational Updates
- WFP continues supporting the Government in the implementation of the National School Feeding Programme, reaching 1.2 million children in 17 departments of Honduras.
- Through Fundación Ficohsa’s agreement with WFP, more than 6,600 preschool children received nutritional support for 60 days. As part of this collaboration, 38 metric tons of food were distributed across 10 departments, including Olancho, Francisco Morazán, Choluteca, Valle, Comayagua, Copán, Cortés, Yoro, Atlántida, and El Paraíso. This initiative highlights the impact of WFP’s partnerships with the private sector in expanding school feeding programs and improving childhood nutrition in Honduras.
- Under the Nutritional Assistance to Vulnerable Groups programme, WFP Honduras provided support to over 5,400 pregnant and breastfeeding women and approximately 16,000 children under the age of five across 11 departments. This assistance contributes to preventing malnutrition and promoting healthy growth during the critical first 1,000 days of life. The intervention, delivered in coordination with national and local health authorities, aims to strengthen maternal and child nutrition through the provision of specialized nutritious foods and targeted counselling on infant and young child feeding practices
- As part of its emergency response program, WFP provided cash-based transfers (commodity vouchers) to 2,425 households in Gracias a Dios department affected by Tropical Storm Sara. Each household received a nutritionally balanced food basket, valued at USD 150, designed to meet the dietary needs of a family of up to five individuals.
- WFP provided commodity vouchers to 2,910 households in the departments of Atlántida and Colón under the Peace Building Fund. This assistance was delivered through WFP’s Resilience and Livelihoods Programme, aimed at strengthening the adaptive capacities of vulnerable communities, improving food security, and supporting sustainable livelihoods in the face of shocks.
- As part of efforts to strengthen the fresh ration supply chain, WFP held a coordination meeting with the 17 direct producers supplying the Higuito Intermunicipal Council. The meeting marked the conclusion of a series of capacity-building sessions focused on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), post-harvest management, quality and food safety standards, drip irrigation systems, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM). These technical trainings aim to enhance the quality, safety, and sustainability of fresh food provision within the school feeding programme.
