World leaders met in March at the United Nations 59th Commission on the Status of Women to take stock of progress and commit to actively close the gaps that are holding women and girls back. This is also the year when a new development framework will replace the Millennium Development Goals. The elimination of violence against women and girls must be a centrepiece of the new development agenda.

The level of bilateral aid to developing countries has fallen, particularly for sub-Saharan Africa. However, at the same time, countries receiving WFP assistance for development have taken major strides forward by increasing financial and in-kind contributions to their own food assistance programmes. To date, host governments have donated 48.9 percent of total contributions for development, meeting 12.1 percent of total funding requirements for development so far in 2015. These contributions were made possible thanks to parallel donations from other donors towards full cost recovery. by joining in a genuine partnership to reduce vulnerability, minimize gender disparity and strengthen human resource capacity. WFP/Joelle Eid WFP is appealing to donors to complement this commitment GENDER INEQUALITY INDEX In many countries, women are the backbone of their families’ food security. WFP assistance through food for education, food for health, food for work and food for assets, food for training and local purchases - support governments and communities in meeting the challenges of inequality and hunger.

WHO 2003 Despite remarkable economic growth, Cambodia remains one of the poorest countries in Asia. Cambodia is susceptible to natural disasters, which can cause severe damage to the livelihoods and food security of the most vulnerable populations. In support of the government’s zero hunger goal, WFP provides assistance to the poorest, most food insecure Cambodians through its Country Programme (mid-2011 to mid-2016). The CP covers food-based safety-nets in education, nutrition, and productive assets/livelihoods support. Due to funding deficits, resourcing dropped dramatically from the originally approved US$28 million per year to US$17 million in 2013 and to US$13 million in 2014. As a result, WFP was obliged to reduce its operations to 45 percent of the CP plan as of November 2014. Over 195,000 children and their families have been cut out of the school feeding programme since November 2014; food distributions under the MCHN component ended in June 2014; FFA activities have been reduced by 50 percent; and the cash-for-work pilot has been suspended. With projected resources estimated at US$13 million in 2015, reduced assistance levels will continue until new contributions are secured.

WFP is present and operating in the seven provinces with the highest stunting rates. While the School Meal intervention benefits from generous multiyear funding, the Mother & Child Health & Nutrition (MCHN) and the Food Assistance for Assets activities (FFA) are both underfunded, preventing WFP from addressing vulnerable people’s needs in targeted provinces on a consistent basis. Without forthcoming funding for MCHN, which works to prevent stunting in children under 2 by targeting the first 1,000 days of life, the programme will have to be reduced by 50 percent. An annual budget of US$2 million is needed to effectively implement MCHN in Lao PDR. Likewise, FFA activities need US$3 million annually to deliver social safety nets to food insecure populations and create productive community-based assets aimed at increasing and diversifying agricultural production and improving the resilience of communities.

It supports the government's commitment to attaining food and nutrition security for all its citizens, and is designed to enhance the government's capacity to address food insecurity; prepare for and respond to emergencies; and reduce undernutrition. The Country Programme has been considerably underfunded since its inauguration. Approximately US$500,000 is needed to deliver WFP’s capacity development initiatives before the end of 2015. Failure to deliver as promised will damage WFP’s credibility when it comes time to negotiate a new assistance portfolio. The portfolio of cooperation from 2016 is being designed around the government’s priorities for food security, nutrition, and disaster risk reduction, and is likely to feature significant co-investment by the government.

WHO 2003 In 2015, WFP Nepal aims to provide 500,000 food-insecure people with food assistance through its Country Programme. At present, however, the CP is facing serious implementation challenges due to funding shortages. The FFA programme, supporting the government’s Rural Community Infrastructure Work programme (RCIW), has not received any funding in 2015. Of the requisite US$26 million, the programme is currently operating on US$2.3 million carried over from 2014. As a result, 53,000 households lack access to RCIW employment opportunities and programme coverage was reduced to only 8 out of the original 10 districts. Additionally, the 22,000 participating households will receive only 15 instead of the intended 60 days of employment. The Nutrition Support programme, an important government partnership project aimed at providing fortified Super Cereal and nutrition services to 65,000 pregnant and breast feeding women and children under 2, is still in need of US$2.27 million to reach its population target numbers.

Resource limitations are constraining WFP’s ability to support Burundi in finding sustainable solutions to these challenges. Since 2014, WFP had to dramatically reduce the coverage of its food for assets programme, which promotes resilience to shocks through sustainable land management activities, community assets creation and rehabilitation. These activities remain suspended due to lack of resources; if greater funding is not made available now, these activities are at risk of being further reduced or even suspended, which will have a negative impact on Burundi’s ability to fight food insecurity and malnutrition.

As national capacities increase, WFP is responsibly and systematically handing over WFP-supported schools to the government. The benefits and trust established to date would be eroded if WFP is unable to maintain its commitments during this transition period – particularly during the lean season when cuts would affect the most vulnerable children in the arid counties who depend on the daily school meals.

Insufficient funding would reduce rations and exclude some of the poorest schools from the programme, negatively affecting children’s attendance rates and cognitive ability. Furthermore, without school meals, parents would be affected economically.

WFP’s social protection component supports and complements national government safety nets through food distributions, cash and vouchers, and basic nutritional support. Since October 2014, a lack of funding has forced WFP to reduce the number of people assisted through these activities by 80 percent. Starting in April, WFP will be forced to cease such support entirely, leaving some 181,000 of Mozambique’s poorest people without vital food assistance.

A lack of funding has resulted in a suspension of School Feeding programmes, affecting 55,000 students in 250 school canteens. The next distributions are planned in June but the operation is currently facing a complete pipeline break. Due to a lack of resources and stocks, plans to assist 27,000 pregnant and nursing women and children under five, will not be activated, leading to a further deterioration of the nutritional status of these vulnerable groups. This nutrition activity targets a total of nearly 210,000 persons.

WHO 2003 (World Bank Data) The current shortfall will have direct impacts on the school feeding component of the Country Programme, preventing WFP from providing assistance to over 900 schools in Chad, with dire consequences—especially on girls’ attendance. Despite a recent contribution from the government of Chad, the available resources will only cover 29 days of school feeding rations instead of 90 days. Also the gains made through the programme’s nutrition component, such as de-worming, will be jeopardized, if funding needs are not met immediately. Insecurity, a long lead time for the sourcing and supply of commodities as well as the upcoming rainy season will collectively impact considerably on the availability of food items, which, in turn, will require immediate cash allocations to improve the supply chain.

WHO 2003 WFP is appealing for urgent funding to reach 127,000 school children in 10 of the 15 counties until December 2015. Available commodities will run out by the end of May 2015 and school meals activities will likely be disrupted from June onwards, until the necessary resources can be mobilized. This is a crucial time for children in Liberia who have only recently resumed their schooling, in mid-February, after an eight-month closure due to the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak. The health crisis has severely impacted the education system. The lack of school meals will put additional pressure on students, with a risk of dropouts and an anticipated lowering of parents’ motivation to send their children to school — a situation worsened by their already delicate livelihoods, as a result of the EVD outbreak.

WHO 2003 (World Bank Data) In Mauritania, the school meals programme offers a critical safety net to the most vulnerable school children. The situation (World becomes extremely difficult during the lean season, when food stocks are depleted and poor families rely on markets for access to food. An estimated 465,000 people are currently facing food insecurity by June 2015. This includes 21,000 people with an almost total depletion of their livelihoods and 443,000 people facing severe food insecurity. The latter people rely entirely on external food assistance. WFP therefore urgently requires funds to meet the needs of 160,124 school children to WFP/Justin Smith ensure their nutritional status does not deteriorate further.

WHO 2003(World Bank Data) WFP is urgently appealing for resources to support food assistance activities for more than 600,000 beneficiaries until July 2015. School Feeding Programmes, food rations and Cash and Vouchers are all suffering a severe pipeline break. The lack of commodities for nutrition activities is having a negative impact on children under 5 as well as on pregnant and nursing women, while a rice shortfall is affecting rural development activities, putting the already food insecure population at further risk. Given the low funding, the implementation of such activities is severely compromised and peoples’ vulnerability is further exacerbated. In order to prevent the total suspension of these programmes, WFP is urging support from donors.

WHO 2003 (World Bank Data) WFP Bolivia’s shortfall is US$630,000 which restricts WFP’s ability to assist beneficiaries as planned in the Country (World Programme. The plan is currently being implemented in 15 of the 40 municipalities initially targeted. In 2015, in order to cover programme needs until the end of the year, WFP Bolivia has been forced to reduce school meal rations. If no additional resources are available, WFP will have to close down this activity from January 2016. This pipeline break would affect the nutrition component as well as the livelihoods and disaster risk reduction activities. WFP Bolivia needs almost US$5 million (equal to 100% shortfall) to maintain implementation of the Country Programme in the period 2016 – 2017. WFP/Justin Smith (World Bank Data) Development Resourcing Update as of May 2015 34 (World Latin America Cuba CP 200703 TOTAL BENEFICIARIES 1.9 million TOTAL PROJECT REQUIREMENTS May-December 2015 REQUIREMENTS $76 $5..4 million million PROJECT DURATION TOTAL PROJECT SHORTFALL (%) May-December 2015 SHORTFALL (%) January 2012 December 2016 $55 million (72%) $7.8 million (100%) Prevalence of undernourishment and of food inadequacy in Cuba is <0.5 respectively. FAO data (World Bank Data) With a budget of US$16.8 million, the Cuba Country Programme plans to assist over 900,000 people. However, as a result of funding shortages, support to the vulnerable will be reduced and WFP will only be able to reach half of the planned 621,500 people. This will negatively affect school children, elderly people and pregnant women in addition to Cuba’s national food production. This is critical at a time when the country imports on average 70 to 80 percent of its food requirements. The goal to increase bean production by 70 percent will be hampered and efforts to strengthen the sustainability of food production through social programmes will be compromised. WFP is currently working in 9 of the 18 target municipalities but only half of the capacity enhancement activities planned will be implemented.

WHO 2003 (World Bank Data) The five year Country Programme was approved in 2011 and revised in 2013 to ensure alignment with government policies. The total US$13 million funding gap threatens the goal of 200 schooldays for 1.4 million schoolchildren and the extended school day (from 8am to 3pm, instead of to 12pm) for half a million children. As national education is a government priority, the unmet need for US$4 million jeopardises these objectives, while undermining the quality and quantity of school feeding. The funding gap for CP2 will be problematic from the second semester of 2016. Its impact will be serious as undernourished WFP/Graeme Williams/MAG children under 2 will not receive fortified food. This undermines government efforts to reduce malnutrition rates by 20 percent in two years. Overall, the total funding gap amounts to US$6 million. The funding situation for CP3 is critical, with a shortfall of 80 percent for 2015 and 100 percent for 2016—amounting to some US$3 million. As part of the resource mobilization strategy, the Country Office has presented funding proposals to the “Dry Corridor Alliance” in Honduras (formed by the WB, USAID, AECID, CABEI, EC, Canada and others) for which donor support is essential.

WHO 2003 (World Over the next three years, WFP Nicaragua requires US$12.4 million to meet the food needs of components 1-4 of CP 200434. If funds are not secured, the needs of vulnerable children, pregnant and nursing mothers will not be met. Women and children targeted by MCH (component 1) are particularly at risk due to their inadequate food consumption. Since micronutrient-enriched foods are not available in local markets, beneficiaries rely on WFP. If WFP programmes are either halted or reduced, particularly School Feeding, WFP’s reputation is at risk because this is the government’s largest social safety net. Furthermore, some 157,000 school children in the most isolated and food-insecure areas, composed mainly of indigenous communities with very low average schooling (3rd grade level), would get reduced school meal rations. The government has announced funding shortfalls of 40 percent; the intention of WFP and NGO’s is to contribute to close the gap.

As all contributions must include cash to pay for the moving, managing and monitoring of the donation, this form of funding ensures Full Cost Recovery. WFP facilitates twinning arrangements to assist eligible donors that are unable to meet Full Cost Recovery - these are mainly least developed, low income and lower middle income countries. Twinning has been pursued through the Emergency Donor Matching Fund (EDMF), established in 2006 with funds mainly from Japan that is now exhausted. Twinning has also been explored in an ad hoc manner whereby the Country Office looks for a local opportunity or approaches cash donors centrally. Twinning is the most valuable tool not only for securing host governments’ contributions but also to boost market development and integration. It allows WFP to enhance South-South & Triangular Cooperation, broaden the donor base and work with a diverse range of partners.
