Compte tenu des niveaux élevés d'insécurité alimentaire et d'émaciation chez les enfants en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), le Bureau d'assistance humanitaire de l'USAID et la Mission de l'USAID en RDC ont réalisé des investissements importants par l'intermédiaire du Programme alimentaire mondial dans des programmes d'alimentation complémentaire de couverture (BSFP) en RDC.

This report describes a learning activity that reviewed how the World Food Programme has designed and implemented blanket supplementary feeding programs (BSFP) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) over the last 3–5 years, including the identification of any global guidance used. The report also provides information to help determine appropriate circumstances for using BSFP in the DRC in the future. While this report focuses on the DRC, it is intended to offer broader learning and considerations about BSFP in similar settings.
