Agreement: Cuba crisis – Emergency Response – World Food Programme 2024 (7457686 P014103001). Mar 21, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:

October 2024 – On October 20, 2024, Hurricane Oscar made landfall in Cuba, causing severe floodings in the province of Guantanamo, further exacerbating the population's limited access to basic and nutritious food. In response, the United Nations launched a Response Plan in October to assist 478,000 crisis-affected people. This plan is in addition to the World Food Programme (WFP) Emergency Appeal for nutrition and anemia prevention launched earlier in 2024 in Cuba to respond to the needs of 350,000 crisis-affected children.

With GAC’s support, WFP works to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by the humanitarian crisis. Project activities include: (1) the provision of emergency food assistance, including distributing powdered milk to vulnerable children; (2) raising awareness and promoting good nutritional practices to help prevent anemia, including breastfeeding; and 3) the provision of logistics services to support the humanitarian response and meet the immediate needs of crisis-affected populations in Cuba.

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved access to emergency food assistance and nutrition assistance for vulnerable populations in Cuba; (2) increased family knowledge of healthy eating, nutrition, and anemia prevention practices; and (3) increased access to logistic services to support the humanitarian response in Cuba.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.

Agreement: Cuba crisis – emergency response – World Food Programme 2024 (7457686 P014103001). Mar 21, 2024 - Dec 31, 2024
Description:

February 2024 – Cuba is currently experiencing a malnutrition crisis. Due to the economic situation after the Covid-19 pandemic, the population's limited access to basic and nutritious food has worsened. In addition to importing around 70 percent of the food it needs annually, Cuba is one of the Caribbean countries most exposed to the impact of extreme hydro-meteorological events. These events have already impacted the food security and agriculture sectors. In response, the World Food Programme (WFP) launched an emergency appeal for nutrition and anemia prevention for children in Cuba to respond to the needs of 350,000 crisis-affected children (between 2 and 7 years old) for 12 months.

With GAC’s support, WFP works to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by the humanitarian crisis. Project activities include: (1) distributing powdered milk to vulnerable children; and (2) raising awareness and promoting good nutritional practices to help prevent anemia, including breastfeeding.

Expected Results:
