Summary
In Liberia, WFP is assisting national authorities to provide access to nutritious and sufficient food for all people, life-saving food assistance to food insecure populations, build sustainable food systems and resilience to shocks, strengthen national capacities to design and manage food security and nutrition interventions, and provide common services to humanitarian and development partners to timely and effectively respond to emergencies. The school feeding programme continues to be the cornerstone of WFP’s activities (strategic outcome 1) in Liberia, promoting access to basic education and longer-term human capital development. In 2020, WFP in collaboration with the Ministry of Education provided food assistance to 92,000 pre-primary and primary school children in 397 schools. WFP shifted from daily on-site school meals to alternative take-home rations to help students concentrate on their learnings while staying at home. The continued school feeding support was largely possible thanks to flexible funding from Mastercard. WFP and partners also provided livelihood and capacity strengthening support through its Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) projects to 4,300 smallholder farmers, stimulating local food production and aiming to meet the requirements of the home-grown school feeding programme. WFP also provided food assistance to 10,000 people living with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy and their families. In total, more than 1 million crisis affected people were assisted with a total of 12,450 mt of food commodities across the country in 2020. WFP provided capacity strengthening support to the Government of Liberia and developed a country capacity strengthening strategy to enhance the capacity of national institutions to effectively design and manage food assistance and social protection programmes.
