Liberia has made significant progress over the past decade in strengthening democratic governance, expanding access to basic services and advancing economic development.

Despite these gains, food insecurity and malnutrition remain major challenges, compounded by climate-related shocks, economic pressures and recurrent public health emergencies, including outbreaks of Mpox, Lassa fever and measles.

According to the latest , 20.7 percent of households are food insecure, while 30 percent of children under 5 are stunted and 8.5 percent are acutely malnourished ¨C with rural communities disproportionately affected.  

Liberia remains heavily dependent on food imports, making households vulnerable to fluctuations in global food and fuel prices. Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for more than 70 percent of the population, but productivity remains constrained by limited infrastructure, poor market access, inadequate storage facilities and recurrent flooding. These challenges continue to affect food availability, incomes and nutrition outcomes, particularly in rural areas.  

The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ supports the Government in improving food security and nutrition, and building inclusive food systems, among other activities.
