Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Korogho, 20 November 2016

Primary school enrolment is low in Côte d'Ivoire - at just 50 percent. Through providing daily school meals to 571,000 primary students, WFP aims to raise school attendance and retention rates in rural areas. Girls receive a take-home ration or cash transfer to encourage families to send them to school, while others receive a micronutrient powder to boost nutrition.

WFP is able to continue provision of daily hot meals through The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (MGD) donation through the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

In the village of Pohan in the west of Côte d’Ivoire, a small group of people are waiting for their second distribution of WFP food assistance. The village still has an eerie, abandoned feel; many homes are burnt and all have been looted.
