WFP is a critical player in supporting refugees and crisis-affected populations in Egypt through three key activities: 1. General Food Assistance (GFA), 2. Nutrition support for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women (PBW), and 3. Self-reliance activities.
WFP provides cash transfers to refugees and crisis-affected populations in the form of monthly unrestricted cash. Additionally, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and their children 0-24 months receive nutrition assistance in the form of cash vouchers. In 2024, WFP has launched its skills development and vocational training programme to refugees, Sudanese crisis-affected populations and Egyptians within host communities to improve livelihoods, as well as to promote social cohesion in communities where refugees reside.
