FOOD SECTOR COORDINATION
MEETING
March
28th, 2002
WFP office Skopje
IDPs and Conflict-Affected Population
The number of IDPs and
conflict-affected residents that received food aid during the month of
March are not yet finalized. The numbers of each beneficiary category will
be reported to WFP in the first week of April.
The plan to assist these
beneficiaries in the immediate future has not changed since the last
meeting:
IDPs: ICRC and Intersos
will continue to assist IDPs. ECHO is prepared to fund this assistance
through the autumn 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 was planned to end in March;
however, ICRC will conduct a needs assessment of the residents in the
Crna Gora area to determine if food aid should continue for these
residents 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. ECHO/MPDL will continue to supply
complementary food through June 2002.
Social Cases
ECHO will fund Intersos to
assist approximately 5,000 social cases until the autumn 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 9 May 2002 at 10h00.
