WFP supports the Zero Hunger Challenge goals of the Government of Nepal through activities targeting nutrition, education and livelihood support. As a result of the devastating earthquake on 25 April, WFP started a three-phase emergency operation (EMOP). A new Protracted Recovery and Relief Operation (PRRO) will start from January 2016 to December 2018, aiming at long-term reconstruction and development in earthquake-affected areas. WFP’s strategic direction takes a life cycle approach aimed at preventing malnutrition and enabling year round access to food by supporting vulnerable communities, including pregnant women and nursing mothers, young and school-going children as well as adults. WFP is also working in partnership with UNHCR to support refugees from Bhutan in eastern Nepal. WFP has been present in Nepal since 1964.WFP operations in Nepal have been revised as a result of the earthquakes that hit the nation recently. Thus, in addition to its regular programmes—Food Assistance for Assets (FFA), Education Support and Nutrition Support activities—an earthquake EMOP started in April and will continue through December. This includes the first phase of immediate general food distribution, reaching 2 million people; a second phase of comprehensive food and nutrition support, aiming to reach 1.1 million people, as well as an initial phase of cash for assets, including light work and debris clearance; and a third and final early recovery,which will be conditional with food and cash for assets activities, with work involving the rehabilitation of community infrastructure, as well as a nutrition component. WFP is working with several partners and UN agencies in supporting the vulnerable and food insecure population.
