Operational Updates
• As part of the implementation of the Joint Programme on Accelerating Progress towards Rural Women's Economic Empowerment (JP RWEE) project with FAO, IFAD and UN Women, WFP conducted a Participatory Community Planning (PCP) workshop in Kairouan Governorate. Nascent project plans were developed to address the economic empowerment needs of the project's target population, which includes 1,700 women members of professional organizations.
• WFP in Tunisia has taken proactive measures to enhance the effectiveness of the National School Feeding Program aiming to establish a vital connection between farmers' production and markets. This initiative involves partnering with the Mutual Society of Agricultural Services (SMSA) and the Office of School works (OOESCO) to develop a robust supply chain mechanism. The primary objective is to ensure that the national school feeding program receives a consistent supply of fresh vegetables and fruits directly from smallholder farmers. By bridging the gap between local agricultural producers and school canteens, WFP strives to enhance nutrition and promote sustainable farming practices within the community.
