Operational Updates
• Food assistance to crisis-affected persons: In December, WFP provided food assistance to 196,488 people, including 26,202 disaster victims, 43,740 refugees, 87,264 vulnerable residents, and 39,282 internally displaced persons. Despite access challenges, over 8,130 vulnerable residents in Kidal received inkind aid, while assistance continued in Ménaka for people facing emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC4+). WFP also supported decentralized services in all regions to aid flood victims.
• Nutrition: In crisis areas, WFP provided nutritional assistance to 17,760 children (6-23 months) and 838 pregnant and breastfeeding women affected by floods. At health centres, 13,561 children (6-59 months) and 5,230 women received MAM supplementation and IYCF awareness messages. For chronic malnutrition prevention, 37,841 children (6-23 months) and 39,259 women were supported at resilience sites. WFP also collaborated with the MISOLA unit to include flour in children's diets in Mopti and integrated 7,019 women into IGAs and cashfor-learning programs.
• School Feeding: In December, resource constraints limited cash distributions to only 50% of program beneficiaries. Over two months, the initiative reached 271 schools, benefiting 91,702 pupils and supporting 1,042 volunteer cooks. CNCS and WFP held a strategic meeting to advocate for sustained canteen assistance for 498 schools whose needs are not met. The lack of support jeopardizes the continuity of the programme and could affect academic performance and household food security.
• Social safety nets: A total of 214,668 vulnerable people were reached by the end of December 2024. Activities to strengthen the national social protection system began with the organization of three national commissions of the National Strategic Guidance Council on Social Protection and a preparatory meeting for the National Social Protection Conference scheduled for February 27–29, 2025.
• Resilience: WFP reached 70 municipalities, focusing on conflictaffected and climate-impacted regions (Mopti, Timbuktu, Gao, Kayes) and prioritized vulnerable groups, including children (6-23 months), PLWG, and households in IPC 3+ areas.
• In 2024, 23,144 farmers (9,893 women) participated in 668 training sessions on cereal/vegetable production, natural resource management, and post-harvest techniques, enhancing food security, incomes, and crop diversification.
• WFP's SAMS program enabled 6,149 farmers (2,207 women) to sell over 1,210 metric tons of produce worth 54.6 million XOF. Support included capacity-building for cooperatives and facilitating 76 connections with financial institutions and processors.
• Furthermore, under nutrition-sensitive programs WFP assisted 9,403 children aged 6-23 months with supplementary feeding along with 7,818 pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls (PBWG).
