Rations were distributed at 82 percent of the recommended kilocalorie requirement. New arrivals from the Democratic Republic of Congo received hotmeals at the Reception Centre and high energy biscuits while in transit. WFP also supported 45,200 nutritionally vulnerable individuals through its supplementary feeding programme.
Clean Cooking Initiative: WFP carried out a post distribution monitoring exercise to assess the usability of clean cooking stoves distributed in Q1 to 5,000 host community households across 13 villages in Kasulu and Kibondo districts. The findings, expected in June, will shape future implementation strategies including training, sensitization, distribution methods, and beneficiary targeting.

The workshops brought together representatives from agriculture, blue economy, health, education, and trade sectors, as well as the President’s Office, Second Vice President’s Office, NGOs, youth groups, and persons with disabilities.
