The forecast-based nature of an FbF programme and of Anticipatory Action (AA), the short lead times of fast-onset hazards and the complexity of drought contexts imply several particularities for M&E that are considered in this guide.
This week, Heads of State and governments from the Caribbean and the Pacific met with the WFP delegation - led by Executive Director Cindy McCain - to highlight the need to address the existential threats faced by SIDS and to seize opportunities for resilient and sustainable development in these regions.
The training brought together 45 participants, including youth and women from farmsteads in Stampriet, Schlip, Bernafay, and Maltahöhe, who acquired new skills in food preservation and processing.
This strategic partnership aims to enhance WFP’s ability to make data-driven decisions in emergency responses, leading to more efficient food distribution, faster damage assessments and improved monitoring of cash-based assistance programmes.
The number of people WFP will target as part of the programme could expand to 12 million people if adequate funding allows. But dwindling resources available for humanitarian operations means that despite near-record level needs, WFP has been forced to assist less people than originally planned.
