Operational Updates
• Following completion of the WFP Liberia Country Strategic Plan (CSP) Evaluation, the Country Office has initiated the development of its second-generation CSP for 2026–2030 for approval in the June 2026 Executive Board meeting. The CSP will be aligned with the new National Development Plan and the UN Co-operation Framework which is under preparation.
• WFP provided daily nutritious meals to 75,187 primary school children in 320 public schools in May through funding from the Rauch Family Foundation, GAFSP, and Finland. The 1,503,700 meals (equivalent of 249.907 MT of rice, beans, gari/powdered cassava, and red oil) were procured from 14 Farmers' Cooperatives (involving 15,000 smallholder farmers) and retailers. This achievement was facilitated through the innovative SCOPE platform which managed beneficiary and transfer data.
• Through contributions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (LDS) and the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, WFP is supporting 73 farmer groups (approximately 2,900 members) with agricultural tools, improved seeds, food assistance through food-for-work, and capacity-strengthening trainings. In May, under Phase II of the LDS-funded Integrated Food Security Programme, 132 hectares of lowland were cleared, and land preparation and planting of rice and vegetables began surpassing the initial target of 74 hectares.
• The Country Office received confirmation of a US$ 4.5 million multi-year contribution (US$ 1.5 million annually over three years) from the Rauch Family Foundation, a U.S.-based private organization, to support the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP). This new commitment builds on the Foundation’s previous contribution of US$ 1.5 million, which is currently under implementation and has already helped expand access to nutritious school meals for children in rural Liberia.
• WFP Health Supply Chain delivered 118,041 metric tons of health commodities, valued at US$ 1,979,153 to 44 health facilities as part of the ongoing second circle health commodities delivery to health facilities, ensuring last-mile delivery even to remote and hard-to-reach communities in Liberia. This initiative is a segment of WFP's ongoing support to the Government of Liberia in managing the National Central Medical Stores and distributing medical supplies to health facilities, supported financially by USAID and the Global Fund.
• The United States Government has approved a no-cost extension of the USAID grant until March 2026, ensuring continued support for the management of the Central Medical Store (CMS) and the nationwide distribution of essential health commodities.
