WFP will focus on building the capacity of the Government of Timor-Leste to manage supplementary feeding through the Ministry of Health’s Mother and Child Health and Nutrition programme. Technical assistance, capacity development, and a strategy to handover a sustainable food-based programme to the Government are key priorities.
The capacity building component targets boys and girls between 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women. WFP has been present in Timor-Leste since 1999.
