To strengthen communications with beneficiaries of WFP’s food assistance activities, a complaints and feedback mechanism pilot has been established in Aweil, Mingkaman and Juba. A hotline system has been set up through which beneficiaries are able to contact WFP to address any concerns or to ask questions. Information sharing on the ground in the three pilot locations is being strengthened to better inform beneficiaries on their entitlements as well as the food distribution process and timeline.
