Introduction

In collaboration with USAID_BHA partners, NWS Food Security and Livelihood (FSL) Cluster members and Implementing Partners (IPs) as well as NWS Bread and Bakery Technical Working Group (BBTWG) members, iMMAP conducted a regular mapping and monitoring exercise of the public and private wheat-flour to bread processing and production facilities across NWS. The study aims to:

• Map the wheat flour to bread value chain actors, plans, and achievements in NWS.
• Assess the capacity and functionality of the wheat flour to bread processing facilities in NWS including Afrin, Peace Spring, and Euphrates Shield areas.
• Identify production gaps to meet the bread needs of the local population
• Assess availability, accessibility, and affordability of flour and bread
• Identify the main wheat-flour-to-bread production challenges and the needed support to overcome them.
• Provide a clear end-to-end view of the bread supply chain in NWS.
