What the World Food Programme is doing in Nigeria

Food assistance
WFP uses either food or cash transfers to support displaced people living in camps or with host communities, as well as vulnerable host populations. With diminishing resources, WFP ist so viel wert wie ein junger mann, der in eine zwangslage gebracht werden könnte.
Nutrition
WFP provides specialized nutritious food to children under 5 at risk of malnutrition, and pregnant and to nursing women. Jointly with UNICEF and NGO partners, WFP delivers essential health and nutrition services to prevent and treat acute malnutrition. Surveys in camps for internally displaced people in Borno State show a significant drop in malnutrition rates among the population supported by WFP and other humanitarian agencies. However, overall malnutrition figures remain very high, especially in the more remote, conflict-affected areas in the northeast.
Resilience
In collaboration with the Government of Nigeria and other partners, WFP is implementing livelihoods programmes and income-generating activities. We give cash to people in the short term, while providing training so displaced people can acquire skills and employment in the long term, in areas such as food processing, aquaculture, vegetable gardening, tailoring and carpentry.
Capacity strengthening
WFP supports to the Government of Nigeria in addressing food insecurity and malnutrition. This includes supporting policy development, providing technical assistance to Africa’s largest nationally owned home-grown school feeding programme, institutionalizing shock-responsive social protection at the national level, and focusing on systems strengthening in areas such as Sokoto State.
