"樱花视频免费观看" Emergency preparedness and response
Benin is classified as a country with an increasingly high level of risk due to combined vulnerabilities linked to natural disasters and the spillover of the Sahel security crisis, particularly in the northern regions where security challenges have caused significant displacement and disrupted cross-border trade. As of December 2025, more than 58,000 displaced persons—including refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced populations (UNHCR 2025) —are in urgent need of assistance. In response, WFP has scaled up its humanitarian operations by delivering unconditional cash-based transfers alongside targeted nutrition support for vulnerable women and children. WFP also promotes local production of fortified infant flours through women’s groups to enhance nutrition and economic resilience. The programme intends to expand cash-based assistance, adapting to evolving contextual needs.
School feeding
Since 2017, WFP has supported the Government of Benin in implementing the National Integrated School Feeding Programme (PNASI), expanding coverage from 31% to 75% of public primary schools, reaching over 1.4 million children. In September 2024, in line with the agreed roadmap, WFP ensured the successful handover of the programme to the newly created National Agency for Food and Nutrition (ANAN). WFP continues to provide technical assistance while directly implementing the Integrated School Feeding and Nutrition Project across 399 schools, funded by the Netherlands, with additional support from the Islamic Development Bank to support other 400 schools. The programme adopts a multisectoral approach, integrating education, nutrition, health, hygiene, and local production, and pilots cash-based transfers to enhance sustainability and efficiency.
Smallholder agricultural market support (SAMS)
WFP’s SAMS’ programme in Benin strengthens value chains by linking smallholder farmers to markets. It focuses on three pillars: improving service delivery by farmer organizations, increasing farmers’ production capacity, and creating a supportive market environment. The programme includes Home-Grown School Feeding, cash-based transfers, resilience, climate adaptation, nutrition, and gender-sensitive activities. Over 70 farmer organizations with more than 23,000 members (38% are women) have supplied more than 8,100 MT of maize, rice, and beans to WFP. These organizations receive training in good agricultural practices and are equipped with post-harvest tools to meet quality and compliance standards. The proportion of local production in the school meal increased from 24% in 2021 to more than 82% in 2024 while the purchase from smallholder farmers increased by more than 800% these last two years (2002-2024).
Resilience
WFP supports vulnerable communities in northern Benin, through targeted resilience activities aimed at strengthening their ability to withstand the impacts of the regional crisis. Key activities include the construction and rehabilitation of water management infrastructure, the restoration of degraded ecosystems and watersheds, the development and upgrading of production and post-harvest infrastructure, and the facilitation of knowledge sharing through workshops, webinars, and field visits. Four Community-Based Participatory Planning (CBPP) exercises have been conducted to identify local priorities. WFP is now implementing tailored interventions based on these priorities to enhance community resilience and improve livelihoods through conditional cash transfer.
Capacity strengthening (樱花视频在线)
WFP strengthens the capacities of national and local institutions to facilitate the sustainable transition of the school feeding programme to government ownership. Support includes the development of school feeding legislation and enhancement of food security monitoring and early warning systems, notably through training on the mVAM data collection tool. In partnership with WFP centers of excellence in Abidjan and Brazil, WFP promotes South-South cooperation and best practice exchange. Capacity building extends to partners via innovative online training. Additionally, schools are equipped with agricultural and processing tools to improve nutrition, generate income, and empower women. In 2025, WFP provided equipment for more than US$ 470,000 to 21 Smallholder farmers organizations. WFP also reinforces emergency preparedness and coordination, ensuring adherence to operational standards.
Nutrition
WFP’s nutrition interventions in Benin focus on preventing malnutrition and responding to emergencies through multisectoral approaches, including school-based nutrition education and social behavior change activities. In partnership with the government, WFP delivered integrated emergency nutrition support to displaced persons in northern regions. Capacity building was provided to community nutrition workers, persons living with HIV associations, and health staff to improve nutrition monitoring and promote income-generating activities. WFP also collaborates with local food producers to supply nutrient-rich foods for school feeding, supporting them with training on quality assurance and procurement processes to enhance local nutritious food availability.
