The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetime. Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

WFP is working with the Government of Ghana to accelerate the attainment of its vision of self-reliance beyond aid, articulated in the Ghana Beyond Aid (GBA) and the Ghana COVID-I9 Alleviation and Revitalization of Enterprises Support (Ghana CARES) Obaatanpa Programme. Through the Country Strategic Plan (2019 to 2023), WFP is supporting national development with an integrated food systems and nutrition programme which hinges on private sector participation in the prevention of malnutrition, transformation of agricultural value chains, strengthening of social protection programmes and strengthening early warning, disaster preparedness and response systems. To further harness its collaboration with the Government of Ghana, the World Food Programme is transitioning into its second edition of its multi-year Country Strategic Plan (2G-CSP) from 2024 to 2028.

The second generation CSP will further reinforce the ‘enabling’ support that WFP has been providing to the government of Ghana, specifically through four thematic pillars: Nutrition, Food Systems, Social Protection and Emergency Preparedness and response.
