FOOD SECTOR COORDINATION
MEETING WFP office Skopje
IDPs and Conflict-Affected Population The number of IDPs and conflict affected residents that received food aid during the month of February were finalized. The plan to assist these beneficiaries in the immediate future was summarized, as follows: IDPs: ICRC and Intersos will continue to assist IDPs. ECHO is prepared to fund this assistance through December but will conduct a needs assessment at the end of the summer to determine the necessity of continuing this aid. Residents of conflict areas: Assistance to these beneficiaries is planned to end in March; however, ICRC and ECHO will conduct a needs assessment of the residents in the Crna Gora area to determine if food aid should continue through June. Refugees UNHCR will distribute food to refugees through June using food commodities supplied by WFP in December. After June, ECHO will fund UNHCR to supply the commodities to this caseload through December 2002 as well as funding MPDL, a local NGO, to supply complementary food through June 2002. Social Cases ECHO will fund Intersos to assist approximately 5,000 social cases until October 2002.
The next meeting of the Food Aid Coordination Committee will be held at the WFP office (Rade Koncar Building, III Makedonska Brigada bb) on 28 March 2002 at 10h00.
