The evaluation of the WFP Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for Liberia for 2019–2026 was conducted between August 2024 and April 2025, to inform the design of the next country strategic plan. The evaluation assessed WFP’s strategic positioning, its contribution to strategic outcomes, the sustainability of the results achieved, its efficiency in implementation and the factors explaining its performance.
What worked, what didn’t and why
The evaluation found that the CSP was well grounded and coherent. The home-grown school feeding (HGSF) programme, agricultural resilience and crisis response interventions supported local markets, education, nutrition and adequate food consumption in emergencies. However, structural and programme challenges limited the scope of progress.
While gaps remain, there was progress on gender equality, environmental action and humanitarian practice. Delivery improved, but staffing and funding constraints limited efficiency.
What should WFP do?
The evaluation made four recommendations:
- Refine and consolidate HGSF model, improving planning and supporting cooperatives to build integrated smallholder resilience;
- Strengthen support to national and community capacities, systems and structures where WFP brings distinctive value;
- Strengthen strategic partnerships, joint resource mobilization and policy development across education sector;
- Strengthen organizational capacity and operational systems to support effective delivery against CSP ambitions.
