About

Issued by the World Food Programme (WFP) under Call for Proposals No. 42, this program aims to deliver life-saving emergency food and nutrition assistance in the Oudalan and Séno provinces of Burkina Faso’s Sahel region. Operating against a backdrop of multidimensional security crises, climate shocks, and forced displacement, the initiative addresses acute vulnerabilities stemming from the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, which identified 1.5 million targeted individuals requiring food security support alongside rising needs from recent village returns. The primary objective is to maintain context-adapted life-saving assistance, address immediate nutritional needs, and build a bridge between emergency response, returnee support, and the gradual stabilization of affected households. The funding scope covers eligible activities such as emergency food distribution, targeted nutrition interventions, and coordinated healthcare collaborations supporting internally displaced persons, returnees, host communities, and acutely food-insecure households. Grants range according to operational needs for project implementation scheduled from January 1 to December 31, 2027, within the specified geographic focus.

Eligibility

Applicants must be legally recognized non-governmental organizations or authorized nonprofit associations holding a valid registration receipt in Burkina Faso, with full compliance regarding tax and social obligations. Organizations are required to possess at least seven years of proven experience in Burkina Faso managing humanitarian or development projects. Furthermore, candidates must demonstrate sector-specific expertise, including relevant operational experience in nutrition, emergency food distribution, and established collaboration with local health authorities. Evaluation considerations will focus on technical capacity, field-level presence, and demonstrated alignment with WFP’s strategic response goals in the targeted Sahel provinces.
