WFP-Liberia Country Program (LCP)

In Liberia, the WFP aims to provide safety nets to strengthen food and nutrition security through school feeding and social protection measures, and to strengthen Liberia’s capacity to own and implement hunger solutions. This includes (i) supporting post-Ebola recovery through comprehensive agricultural and livelihood support to vulnerable communities; and developing government capacity in emergency preparedness and response; (ii) providing daily meals to children in more than 700 primary schools; (iii) providing monthly food support to some 30,000 refugees residing in Liberia’s three official refugee camps; and (iv) promotes food assistance for assets (FFA) projects in which participants create community assets – including roads and bridges to improve access to markets – in return for food or cash transfers.
