Operational Updates
Refugee: In light of an uncertain resourcing outlook, in consultation with the Government, the World Food Programme (WFP) is implementing a phased reduction in general food assistance provided to refugees. Rations were reduced from 82 percent to 65 percent of the minimum daily kilocalorie requirement in May, with a further reduction to 50 percent scheduled in June. These measures are necessary to stretch available resources and avert an imminent pipeline break - delaying a critical shortfall in key food commodities. In May, WFP extended nutrition support to 38 children with Severe Acute Malnutrition in response to a request from UNHCR due to constraints in the supply of plumpynut.
Disaster Risk Reduction: WFP is supporting the Government in establishing a national system for Anticipatory Action (AA), with an initial focus on drought preparedness. Key institutions engaged in this effort include the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) and the Prime Minister’s Office - Disaster Management Department (PMO-DMD). To build technical capacity and ensure localized input, WFP convened a series of workshops with experts from 10 districts across the country. These consultations are informing the formation of a national working group on Anticipatory Action.
Adaptive Social Protection: WFP organized the first joint emergency simulation between the Tanzania Social Action Fund and PMO-DMD, engaging 34 government representatives from Zanzibar and the mainland. The exercise generated inputs which will inform the design of shock-responsive interventions within the national social protection system. WFP also participated in an appraisal mission for the Productive Social Safety Net Programme led by the Government and the World Bank. The mission aimed at supporting the development of climate-smart public works to enhance the resilience of vulnerable households against climate-related hazards.
