• School feeding on-site was put on hold in Sudan as schools closed as part of the measures to halt the spread of COVID-19. To ensure continuation of support, WFP has created guidelines to safely provide take-home-rations (THRs) to school children who are missing out on WFP’s school meals.
• WFP initiated preparations for the scale-up of emergency nutrition response for treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) among children under five as well as pregnant and lactating women. The initial scale-up is planned to be in Khartoum (approximately 30 health centers).
• Key messages on various programme adjustments in the context of COVID-19 were disseminated to the affected population, to ensure that the people we serve continue to receive undisrupted assistance, to the extent possible.
