Monsoon Floods – Emergency and Recovery Assistance
• WFP continues to support the Government’s emergency response to the floods with food, cash and nutrition assistance, primarily in Punjab province. So far, WFP has assisted over 375,000 people affected by the floods* – distributing 2,762 mt of food and transferring PKR 1,015 million in cash assistance. This includes 100,000 people reached in January.
• WFP is also implementing recovery activities in Sindh, focusing on livelihoods restoration and communitybased asset creation for 26,000 people over five months. Additional resources are required to scale up these efforts in severely floods-affected districts.
Social Protection
• WFP continues to support the Government with the implementation of the Benazir Nashonuma Programme to fight against chronic malnutrition, particularly stunting. A total of 4.1 million pregnant and breastfeeding women and young children have been enrolled since the programme’s inception in 2020, benefitting from social protection and health services – including specialized nutritious food. So far, 1 million beneficiaries have successfully graduated after completing the 1,000 days cycle. In January, 366,000 women and children received specialized nutritious food.
• The Nashonuma programme is delivered through 556 facilitation centres located in health facilities across 157 districts. To improve access further, WFP and the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) recently established 14 new centers and plan to open an additional 23.
• WFP, in coordination with BISP, is developing the Nashonuma Dashboard, which will be launched in February 2026. Featuring geospatial mapping and real‑time visualization, the dashboard will improve operational efficiency and decision‑making.
• Through the Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme, 13,800 malnourished pregnant and breastfeeding women and young children in Sindh received treatment.
