WFP, in collaboration with ADEC, is providing food assistance to 13,800 individuals or 2,300 across 26 locations in the districts of Badhan, Dhahar, Xingalool, Ceelaayo and Buraan, in  Sanaag and Haylaan regions of Puntland, Somalia.

Each of the 2,300 households will receive $70 monthly for three months to meet their basic food needs.

This assistance is free and non-taxable. It is prohibited for any party to exchange anything  in order to receive aid cards.

WFP has updated the registration process, requiring biometric data and photographs of all family members aged 5 and above. Full household registration is mandatory.

A new biometrics system has been introduced by WFP, requiring a one-time registration of fingerprints for each person in the SCOPE system.

Currently, Aid is limited to three months per Household to allow rotation of resources with other vulnerable families.

Households registering in August will receive transfer assistance from September to November. Those who have previously received aid will not be eligible in September.

WFP is also gradually moving toward transfer value based on number of Household members
