COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 30.03.2016 financing the distribution of dairy products as  part of the response to humanitarian crises from the 
general budget of the European Union ( http://ec.europa.eu/echo/files/downloads/Commission_Decision_Dairy_pr oducts.pdf ). 
 
1. Product description  
Ultra High Temperature (UHT) drinking milk.  
 
2. Quantity and/or value of food aid provided  
EUR 30 million in two years (from 01/06/2016 to 31/05/2018). Out of this EUR 30 million, EUR 24 million has already been disb ursed during the pre -financing 
phases and the rest will be disbursed after the appraisal of the final report. The World Food Programme will have distributed  a total of 17 ,500 metric tonnes of 
UHT milk to schools in support of 500 ,000 Syrian children in two y ears. 
 
The milk will be delivered to schools across Syria during the 2016 -2017 and 2017 -2018 academic years, as complement of WFP's existing Fortified School 
Snacks Programme, or through the WFP General Food Distribution.

- 11 - 3. Description of whether food aid  is provided on in -kind, untied cash -based basis and whether monetization was permitted  
In-kind emergency food aid, no monetisation was permitted.  
 
4. Description of whether in fully grant form or concessional terms  
In fully grant form.  
 
5. Description of relevant needs assessment (and by whom) and whether food aid is responding to a declaration of emergency or 
an emergency appeal (and by whom)  
Needs assessment carried out by the World Food Programme concluded that the consumption of milk has significantly reduced amongst poor households in 
Syria due to high food prices. The conflict has severely impacted the agriculture sector and led to a decline in food product ion, particularly dairy production. 
Syrian families typically consumed milk and other dairy prod ucts on a daily basis prior to the crisis. At present, poor households rarely have access to milk and 
in some cases it has completely disappeared from their diet.  
 
The programme is integrated in the Emergency Operations of World Food Programme inside Syri a, and specifically  complements WFP Fortified School Snacks 
Programme (FSSP) launched in August 2014 to contribute to the overall objective of the No Lost Generation Initiative, an inte r-agency response strategy to 
ensure the education and protection right s of children and youth are not compromised by the conflict.  The FSSP is identified as an integral component of the 
education package, in its role to support a return to learning and encourage regular classroom attendance.

emergency appeal (and by whom)  
U.S. food assistance responses to emergencies are provided through recipient governments,  private voluntary organizations, and other international 
organizations, in particular the United Nations ' World Food Program (WFP).  The organizations work closely with the national and local governments in the 
recipient countries to conduct needs assessme nts and identify the regions and beneficiary groups requiring emergency food assistance.  Emergency food 
assistance is provided based on populations in need, and a disaster declaration is not a pre -requisite for response.  
 
U.S. food assistance for non -emerg ency development/capacity building is provided by private voluntary organizations, cooperatives, governments of developing 
countries and their agencies, universities, the WFP and other international organizations.  The U.S. Government works with the impleme nting organizations and 
the recipient governments to analyze the markets and choose agricultural products that will not disrupt local production, pri ces, local markets, or commercial 
trade. Consistent with the Food Assistance Convention reporting, these as sessments can be done by U.S. Government experts or by contracting with an 
independent third party.
