The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) will receive $142.3 million through a Project Grant award from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The grant is part of USAID's Food for Peace Emergency Program (EP), which aims to improve access to food in food insecure areas abroad through the provision of emergency food assistance.
Under the award, WFP will implement two key activities in South Sudan from December 2022 through May 2024. Activity 1 involves providing $142.3 million in life-saving food and nutrition assistance to crisis-affected populations to support self-reliance, readiness, and recovery. Activity 2 focuses on providing nutrition and health support to targeted groups. The grant funding and activities are intended to address ongoing food insecurity in South Sudan by improving availability and utilization of food through emergency food aid programs.
