WFP implements its operations in 11 out of 14 states and regions including Chin, Kachin, Kayin, Mon, Shan (including Wa Self-Administered Division) and Rakhine states; and in Ayeyarwady, Bago, Magway, Sagaing (including Naga Self-Administered Zone), Tanintharyi and Yangon regions.

WFP’s assistance is channelled towards poor and vulnerable households, children under 5, pregnant and lactating women, schoolchildren and their families, as well as patients receiving treatment for HIV and tuberculosis.

WFP implements the following programmes in Myanmar:

1. WFP provides relief assistance that helps families in a state of food insecurity: persons internally displaced by conflict and returnees who need additional support in resettling; people affected by natural disasters; and extremely food insecure and destitute households with limited livelihood activities.

2. The nutrition program aims to reduce acute malnutrition by addressing the nutritional needs of children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women. Malnutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life – from conception to 2 years of age – can lead to irreversible damage. WFP provides fortified foods for children to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in targeted areas, and provides food and micronutrient supplements for pregnant and lactating women that maximize their caloric and micronutrient intake.

3. WFP’s Assets Creation activities help communities to build or repair community assets once acute food needs have been met. These activities build household and community assets that can: i) mitigate the impact of future disasters, such as land terracing projects that counter soil erosion; ii) increase access to markets such as the construction of road networks;and iii) diversify income sources.

4. WFP collaborates with the Ministry of Education to implement the National School Feeding Programme. WFP provides high-energy biscuits or cooked meals to primary students and pre-school students in various states and regions. From 2016, WFP employs a cost-efficient modality – cash based transfer - wherever applicable (i.e. beneficiaries with access to functioning markets), enabling beneficiaries to make preferred food choices.

5. People living with HIV and TB need more calories and nutrients in their diet in order to strengthen their immune system. WFP provides food and nutrition assistance to people living with HIV and TB patients (PLHIV/TB) who are undergoing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and directly observed treatment (DOTs).

6. WFP provides technical advice, policy support and training for the Government to improve food systems as well as the delivery of national social protection and emergency preparedness programmes.
