The project aims to improve food security among targeted households through a combination of tailored food assistance and cash transfers. Beneficiary households will experience increased ability to meet essential needs such as food and nutrition. Special focus will be placed on highly vulnerable groups, improving their financial stability and food security. Cash-based transfers will stimulate the local economy, benefiting vendors and farmers. The inclusion of BSFP (Blanket Supplementary Feeding Program) foods will play a crucial role in improving beneficiaries' nutrition and health, addressing malnutrition and enhancing overall well-being. These assistance efforts will enhance the beneficiaries' overall lifestyle, improving their quality of life. Community resilience will be strengthened through the establishment of savings groups and emergency plans, with an emphasis on improved nutrition and overall resilience. The project’s 12-month support will focus on long-term benefits, promoting sustainable practices and investments in local agricultural production.
