To prevent a peak in the incidence of malnutrition during the hunger gap (January – April 2010) a consortium of NGOs in collaboration with WFP implemented a blanket supplementary feeding programme funded by ECHO targeting all pregnant and lactating women and children less than 5 years old in 5 districts in Northern Kenya. The aim of this blanket feeding programme was to protect the nutritional status of the most vulnerable people (children, pregnant and lactating women) during the peak drought period.
