SITUATION OVERVIEW
• Despite national progress, many vulnerable
families remain just one shock away from food
insecurity, particularly rural households, women,
and young people affected by poverty and
income instability. In coordination with the
Government of El Salvador, WFP focuses on
strengthening systems that protect vulnerable
populations by ensuring reliable access to food
and supporting more resilient livelihoods.
• Increasing weather variability and the potential
for El Niño conditions in 2026 underscore the
importance of early, preventive action. WFP is
working with the Government of El Salvador to
strengthen early warning and preparedness
mechanisms that help communities anticipate
shocks, safeguard livelihoods, and protect
progress achieved through previous
interventions and government initiatives.
• Investing in people remains central to WFP and
the Government of El Salvador’s approach. Through the National School Feeding
Programme, WFP supports children’s learning
and wellbeing by providing school meals
nationwide. This support helps ensure that
students can focus on learning, strengthening
both educational outcomes and long‑term
human capital development.
