The World Food Program (WFP) Congo Country Office received US$25 million from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Services (FAS) to fund a five-year project under the McGovern-Dole Food for Education Program (hereafter referred to as “McGovern-Dole “) in the Republic of the Congo from 2021–2026. This represents the fifth round of funding for the program and second award to WFP. The McGovern-Dole project seeks to improve pupils' health and dietary practices, reduce pupils' short-term hunger through the provision of school meals, raise pupils' literacy levels, and strengthen government’s and schools' administrative capacities to implement and manage a nutrition sensitive and holistic School Feeding Program. Due partly to delays in procurement of the Evaluation Firm, the activities will begin in October 2023 and is expected to finish by June 2026, with a possibility of a no-cost extension. Oversee Advising Group was commissioned to conduct the Baseline Evaluation of the WFP McGovern- Dole Funded School Feeding Program in Congo.
