Just when the virus was at its peak, the Government of Liberia and partners launched a US$25M Covid-19 Household Food Distribution Stimulus Package for vulnerable households in Liberia. The aim of the COHFSP was to assisting the most vulnerable households affected by COVID-19 prevention measures in Liberia. The WFP for example, says on its website that it has, along with partners, provided 3,084 mt of staple food commodities to 243,140 beneficiaries (48,628 households) under the Government-led COVID-19 Household Food Support Programme (COHFSP). The WFP noted: “These include allocations toward the support costs of the Liberia Country Office directly linked to the execution of the programme (e.g. applicable rental costs, back office staff costs etc) and allocations toward the support costs of WFP Headquarters/Regional Bureau in their oversight and support function, called Indirect Support Costs (ISC),” WFP continues.
