Since October 2017, Cabo Delgado has been experiencing a series of attacks by unidentified Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) from the region.<\/p>\n In March 2020, the attacks escalated significantly and show no signs of abating with thousands of civilians have been killed and approximately 700, 000 people have been internally displaced since the outbreak of the violence in 2017. Throughout this 3-year conflict period, the Government has commenced setting up resettlement sites to cater to the steadily increasing number of IDPs. Many IDPs have alternatively taken shelter in the homes of host communities, remaining in dire need of humanitarian assistance, placing additional strain on host families and community resources.<\/p>\n Under the National School Feeding Programme (PRONAE), WFP currently implements directly and in collaboration with local education authority a homegrown school feeding (HGSF) programme in Ancuabe and will be expanding the intervention to more districts of Cabo Delgado in 2025. WFP additionally provides technical support to Government-led HGSF in the province from programme set up to regular monitoring and reporting. The homegrown approach entails beyond onsite meals provision – it is designed to strengthen local markets by prioritizing local procurement of fresh produce from smallholder farmers in the community through implementing schools.
