Published purpose
The World Food Programme (WFP) School Health and Nutrition project will provide school girls and boys with improved and equal nutrition status through increased access to gender-responsive school-based nutrition packages, nutrition and health education interventions, and gender-inclusive engagement of local smallholder farmers. The three-year (FY2023-2025), $11 million project will provide two daily nutritious meals to over 32,000 schoolchildren in vulnerable food insecure regions of Somalia and South Sudan. WFP will also build community resilience by linking female smallholder famers to local agricultural support programmes to increase the use of women-produced local crops. The project will also support Canada’s international assistance and the strategic priorities for Somalia and South Sudan through women’s economic empowerment and human capital development through innovative gender-responsive, nutrition-sensitive, shock-responsive interventions and behaviour change communication.
