Emergency Response
Anticipatory actions: WFP provided financial and technical support to the Malagasy Government–specifically the National Office for Disaster Risk Management and the Ministry of Population and Solidarity –to facilitate a one-week training on cash transfers. The initiative certified 30 participants, including government officials, NGO representatives, and UN staff, equipping them with essential skills to implement cash-based transfer programmes. This will further integrate cash-based transfers as a key humanitarian response modality in Madagascar. In parallel, WFP prepared for the cyclone season by participatingin the national Contingency Plan workshop and developing a plan for the pre-positioning of food commodities.
Cyclone Gamane response: In November, WFP distributedUS$352,000 in cash-based transfers to 9,890 households in 13communes of the Sambava and Vohemar regions.
