Summary

Description

Out of approximately 61,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) that are currently registered in Bamako, WFP is helping support 12,000 of the most vulnerable.

IDPs receive a monthly food package, or ration, to help to feed their entire household. This consists of rice or sorghum, beans and pulses, oil, salt and Corn Soya Blend (CSB), a specially fortified blend meal fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.

Although the food is free, thanks to the support of UK aid and other donors, people still have to find a way of transporting the ration to wherever they're staying. Many displaced families in Bamako are living with relatives or, if they can afford it, in rented accommodation. But they still have to pay for a cycle rickshaw, taxi or even the bus fare to take the food home.
