Nutrition
• In November, WFP provided 3,200 mt of specialized nutritious foods for treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and prevention of wasting to 755,454 children aged 6 to 59 months, as well as pregnant and lactating women and girls (PLWG) enrolled in the targeted supplementary feeding and blanket supplementary feeding programmes.

Support to Refugees
• WFP supported 680,050 refugees with 7,320 mt of in-kind food assistance and USD 422,100 cash-based transfers (CBT) in 24 refugee camps across Ethiopia in November. Due to critical funding gaps, food rations have been cut from 84 percent to 60 percent of the recommended daily kilo calorie intake in November 2021.

School Feeding
• In November, WFP’s school feeding activities were limited due to the ongoing conflict in the Afar Region. However, WFP’s school feeding activities began in early December, reaching 67,263 children with 85 mt of food, with distributions ongoing.

Fresh Food Vouchers (FFV)
• The FFV Programme supports households with PLWG and children under the age of two years to access fresh food and improve their dietary diversity. In November, conflict and insecurity in the Amhara Region hampered WFP’s FFV access – halting the programme.

Livelihoods
• To strengthen the livelihoods of communities, WFP supported over 54,625 people through trainings on village savings and loan associations and other livelihood strengthening activities.
