WFP's activities in the Republic of Guinea focus on support to primary education, nutrition assistance to vulnerable groups, enhancing resilience in fragile communities and support to community-based supplies for school feeding programmes. It provides general distributions for people affected by natural and man-made disasters as well as for Ivoirian refugees in Guinea’s Forest region. WFP also supports income-generating and training activities for host populations and Ivoirian refugees opting for local integration. Non-food distribution activities of WFP mainly entail supporting Government in its efforts to develop capacity to monitor and address food insecurity and nutrition, to adopt a national school feeding policy, and to strengthen national capacity to address hunger and malnutrition.

Overview

The Republic of Guinea is a country of 11 million inhabitants, located in West Africa and covers an area of 245,857 km². The country shares 3,300 km of borderland with six countries, some of which are undergoing socio-political turmoil that has resulted in displacement of populations.  
 
In the last decade, the country has experienced socio-economic adversity typified by governance problems, limited economic progress and overall deterioration of the economy. However, the November 2010 elections, the first democratic polls to be held in the country since independence, brought new hopes for economic and social development, based on sound macro-economic management, budgetary and fiscal discipline, and efficient management of public resources.
