Operational Updates
• Refugees: Rations are currently being distributed at 88 percent of the recommended 2,100 kcal per person per day. WFP is actively raising funds with the aim to return to full rations as prolonged reductions have far-reaching and potentially life-altering consequences for refugees.
• Nutrition: Under Boresha Lishe project, the formation of 292 care groups was completed to facilitate nutrition focused education, demonstrations and communication. WFP continued the enrolment of beneficiaries in SCOPE to strengthen data and beneficiary management. Trainings have been completed for over 100 district and clinic health officials who will be using SCOPE. For more information on SCOPE check here.
