Management Response to the Recommendations of the Summary Evaluation Report - Afghanistan Country Portfolio

This document presents the management response to the recommendations of the Afghanistan country portfolio evaluation. The report covers the conflict in Afghanistan which has led to poverty, poor diets and micronutrient deficiencies, all of which contribute to undernutrition. Recent droughts and failed harvests have exacerbated the situation, and a significant part of the population that traditionally produces its own food now relies on the market as its primary source of food.The political and security context has made it especially difficult to guarantee effective food assistance. Increasing the proportion of targeted interventions through partnerships is critical if WFP’s food assistance is to build resilience and provide community safety nets.
