The World Food Programme (WFP) is actively working alongside government ministries in Zimbabwe to strengthen and support a robust, home-grown school meal programme in response to the El Niño-induced drought that has affected the region.
This collaborative effort aims to ensure that children in drought-stricken areas have access to nutritious meals at school, which can help mitigate the impact of food insecurity caused by the drought.
By focusing on locally-sourced ingredients and involving local communities in the preparation and distribution of meals, the WFP and government ministries hope to bolster resilience and promote sustainable solutions to address hunger and malnutrition.
The WFP’s commitment to combating the El Niño-induced drought demonstrates the importance of collaborative efforts between international organizations and national governments in addressing complex humanitarian challenges and protecting the well-being of vulnerable populations.
