WFP helps smallholder farmers improve production capacities and business processes, which also prepares them for climate-related shocks, through training on climate-smart agricultural techniques. Literacy programmes improve women’s business and income opportunities. Construction and infrastructure rehabilitation projects give local workers an income while maintaining essential food-systems infrastructure.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img src="https://www.wfp.org/sites/default/files/styles/page_accordion/public/images/DR-Congo-smallholder-farmers-Marco_Frattini.jpg?itok=kIr-cfRA" alt="Woman working on her farm supported by WFP in DR Congo"> </div> </aside> </dd> <dt class="accordion__item-title "> <div> <span>Nutrition</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel "> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP runs programmes to both prevent and treat acute malnutrition. At food and cash distribution sites, children under 5 and breastfeeding and pregnant mothers are assessed for signs of malnutrition and are referred to treatment or prevention programmes when necessary. Specialized nutritious foods are distributed regularly at health centres. WFP provides nutritious food to children aged 6 to 23 months, and to pregnant and breastfeeding women, in areas where there is a high prevalence of global acute malnutrition and there are aggravating factors such as high food insecurity, health epidemics and population movement. WFP also runs awareness-raising sessions, including cooking demonstrations, to help families maintain healthy diets and lifestyles.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img src="https://www.wfp.org/sites/default/files/styles/page_accordion/public/images/DR-Congo-nutrition-WFP-Vincent-Tremeau.jpg?itok=1D9LL-7Q" alt="A health worker takes rations of nutrient-rich Plumpynut to distribute them to children in DR Congo"> </div> </aside> </dd> <dt class="accordion__item-title "> <div> <span>School meals</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel "> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP has provided school meals in DRC for over 20 years, in post-conflict and chronically food-insecure areas. Warm meals every school day stave off the risk of malnutrition among vulnerable children. The meals also help keep children in schools, which in turn reduces the risk of child labour and early marriage. School attendance and social mixing also helps to build peace among communities healing from years of hostilities. WFP buys food from local farmer organizations or suppliers, creating a local supply chain and a stable market for farmers.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img src="https://www.wfp.org/sites/default/files/styles/page_accordion/public/images/DR-Congo-school-feeding-WFP-Vincent-Tremeau.jpg?itok=cUy-RzvD" alt="Kamwanya Noëlla (11 years old) receives her school meal provided by WFP as part of the school feeding programme in DR Congo."> </div> </aside> </dd> <dt class="accordion__item-title "> <div> <span>United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS)</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel "> <div class="accordion__item-content">The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) provides the humanitarian community, donors and diplomatic missions with safe, flexible, efficient and cost-effective air transport to locations across a country the same size as Western Europe.
