The Highlights
30 percent fewer people require assistance after food security improves across Kenya.
WFP is reducing its general food distributions (GFD) coverage in the arid and semi-arid lands taking into consideration the coverage by the Government’s safety net programme, food security improvements and funding availability.
The first cash-based transfers for refugees in Kakuma happened in late-August, while in Dadaab they will begin in November. The cash replaces 10 percent of the cereals ration, empowering refugees to buy food of their choice from local selected traders.
WFP requires US$54 million to cover shortfalls for the next six months. Insufficient funding has forced WFP to cut rations for refugees since mid-June, reduce GFD coverage in the ASAL, reduce the number of feeding days in schools and fail to fortify the schools meals with micronutrient powders.
