2024 Annual Country Reports
• WFP Nicaragua has released its 2024 Annual Country Reports (ACRs) providing a comprehensive overview of progress and priorities across our country operations. Last year marked a transition from the 2019–2024 Country Strategic Plan (CSP) to the newly launched 2024–2029 CSP. To reflect this, two separate ACR editions are available, highlighting achievements from each phase of the year. Copies were sent by email to all partners and stakeholders in Nicaragua.

Emergency Preparedness and Response
• As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season begins, NOAA forecasts a 60% likelihood of an above-normal season, with up to 19 named storms, including 5 major hurricanes. In coordination with its regional office, WFP has already activated its emergency preparedness plan to protect lives and ensure timely access to food if requested by the Government of Nicaragua. WFP is preparing to support approx. 4,000 families with 10-days of in-kind food assistance and reinforce the school feeding programme for 40 days as a shock-responsive social protection measure using pre-positioned food stocks. Currently, 542 MT of food are stored in WFP’s warehouse, with an additional 115 MT in process.
School Feeding
• To further strengthen school feeding programme, WFP is also collaborating with MINED to rehabilitate 6 school kitchens and 2 educational centers located in the vulnerable region of the Dry Corridor. Early assessments and preparatory activities have been completed to identify specific needs and the procurement of services providers is underway. Adequate school facilities and access to nutritious meals are essential to improve children’s health, educational performance, and their long-term development.
