Operational Updates
• School meals: WFP supported the provision of school meals for 65,000 schoolchildren across 247 public primary schools in Kolda and Matam. In Matam, 73 education staff (22 percent women) were trained on School Connect, a digital platform enhancing tracking of school meal stocks, daily attendance, and enrolment. This will enable 45 additional schools to adopt digital monitoring, improving planning and delivery.
• Nutrition: WFP provided the National Council for Nutrition Development (CNDN) with over 150 metric tons of specialized nutritious foods, to be delivered by June to children aged 6–59 months across 19 departments as part of the moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) supplementation programme. In the first quarter of 2025, 20,797 children (51 percent girls) suffering from MAM were supplemented.
• Resilience: In the Ferlo Zone, WFP led community planning sessions for a new agro-pastoral resilience project funded by Ireland, targeting the restoration of 100 hectares of degraded land. In Matam, WFP worked with local technical services to conduct irrigation diagnostics under the “Resilient Territories” Matam Compact, with the aim of designing climateresilient production villages. Further, as part of the Africa Integrated Climate Risk Management Programme (AICRM), WFP launched the inception study for the implementation of the microinsurance component.
• In Salémata, WFP conducted an assessment mission with the Ministry of Agriculture, where land tenure was secured for the launch of the flagship Community Agricultural Cooperative (CAC). The project aims to develop 500 hectares and support local communities through cooperatives, with a focus on youth employment, food production, and agro processing.
