The World Food Programme is inviting grant applications for the implementation of emergency rapid response initiatives. These efforts aim to address urgent food security and nutrition needs in Uganda, specifically targeting the Northern, Central, and Western regions.
The focus areas include emergency response and management, cash and food assistance, and nutrition support. This encompasses services such as infant and young child feeding, as well as preventing and treating malnutrition.
Selected partners will be responsible for key activities like identifying, registering, verifying, and mobilizing beneficiaries. They will also manage in-kind food distribution, ensure proper site management, and supervise any catering services used to provide hot meals to beneficiaries.
In cases where WFP commodities are used to prepare hot meals, the partner will oversee the entire hot meal programme. If Cash Based Transfers (CBT) are employed—via direct cash, mobile money, or SIM cards—the partner will handle site management, beneficiary verification, mobilization, and distribution processes.
Applicants must also set up and manage a Community Engagement and Feedback Mechanism (CEFM), monitor the situation on the ground, and provide regular reports. They will represent WFP in relevant field-level activities and participate in monitoring and evaluation.
Nutrition support includes treatment programmes for moderate acute malnutrition in children under five, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls. If acute malnutrition in a community exceeds the 15% emergency threshold, a blanket supplementary feeding programme will also be initiated.
