The World Food Programme (WFP) is inviting applications for the implementation of General Food Assistance, Nutrition, Digital and Financial Inclusion, Resilience, and Self-Reliance in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement and its hosting district.
WFP Uganda provides both life-saving and life-changing support to refugees and host communities. This aligns with two pillars of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework: Emergency Response and Ongoing Needs, and Resilience and Self-Reliance. The aim is to ensure access to adequate and nutritious food during crises while helping people build resilience and achieve self-reliance.
WFP plans to strengthen the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of its programmes by forming new partnerships and adopting innovative approaches. The focus is on delivering long-term, quality assistance by leveraging the capacity, experience, and presence of cooperating partners within the refugee settlements.
Key sectors include food security through cash and food assistance, and livelihoods support through microfinance and self-reliance initiatives. Nutrition efforts will focus on infant and young child feeding, and the prevention and treatment of malnutrition.
Expected outcomes include support for food-insecure refugees and asylum seekers through in-kind or cash-based assistance, nutrition-sensitive social and behavior change communication (SBCC), and connections to additional services. Vulnerable groups such as children under five and pregnant or breastfeeding women will receive nutrient-rich foods and SBCC.
WFP aims to strengthen the capacity of government institutions and stakeholders to plan, target, and prioritize assistance effectively. Refugees and host communities will also benefit from SBCC, livelihood assets, and training to build diverse income sources and improve nutrition and food security.
Other anticipated results include greater social empowerment, increased agricultural production and income through climate-smart practices, and the digitization of Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) with links to formal financial services.
The geographic focus of this intervention is Uganda’s Western region.
