Operational Updates
Activity 1: Lean season support
Currently there are no ongoing initiatives under this activity, however, WFP plans to provide food and cash assistance to vulnerable food insecure people from October 2025-March 2026.
Activity 2: Emergency preparedness
WFP conducted the ‘seven colors’ post nutrition campaign monitoring exercise in collaboration with Economic Planners from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition and the Food and Nutrition Coordination Office, at both national and district levels. The main objective of the monitoring exercise was to assess the effectiveness of the nutrition campaign in promoting knowledge, influencing attitudes, and fostering early adoption of healthy dietary behaviors among target populations. The findings will be release in July.
The Regional Urban Preparedness project expanded to an additional sixth district (Berea) under which, through technical support of WFP and other partners, DMA undertook the vulnerability hotspot mapping to understand the vulnerabilities within the urban setting of the district. The mapping was done through use of three tools namely; the Participatory Mapping and Hotspot Identification; Community Based Expenditure – MEB; and Vulnerability Profiling and Eligibility Criteria elaboration.
Activity 3: School feeding
WFP continues to provide school meals to over 50, 000 preprimary school learners across the 10 districts of the country. As part of the ongoing school feeding support, WFP worked in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Training to deliver 400 mt of food commodities to over 2,400 pre-primary schools. The commodities delivered include maize meal, beans and canned fish and these food items are expected to benefit over 48, 000 learners.
