Summary
In 2023, WFP joined forces with the Ministry of Education to launch a home-grown school feeding programme in Bong, Maryland, Montserrado, and Nimba counties. This initiative positively impacted 70,260 students across 289 public and community schools. The programme saw balanced participation from both genders, with 34,664 girls (49 percent) and 35,596 boys participating. Twenty-six percent of the food (700 mt) provided by the programme was sourced and procured locally. Locally produced commodities procured included 301 mt of rice, 210 mt of gari, 147 mt of beans and 42 mt of palm oil. As part of the home-grown school feeding programme, WFP provided take-home rations to 2,855 primary school children (1,375 girls) through cash transfers via mobile money. This was a six percent increase compared with the 2,700 schoolchildren assisted in 2022. This support was designed to help students purchase textbooks and uniforms, easing financial burdens that may have prevented school attendance.
