About

The World Food Programme (WFP) invites applications from qualified nongovernmental organizations to support the implementation of the PCE AE School Meals Program in Venezuela for the 2026–2027 school year. The program aims to improve nutrition, food access, and school participation among children and vulnerable populations by providing diverse and quality food assistance through schools in the states of Falcon, Sucre, and Zulia. Target beneficiaries include children enrolled in initial, primary, and special education schools, people with disabilities, school personnel, and their families. Selected partners will deliver school meals, take-home food baskets, family food baskets for special education schools, and temporary household food assistance in municipalities experiencing very high levels of food insecurity. In addition, partners will support school kitchen maintenance and equipment, conduct kitchen needs assessments, promote nutrition-sensitive and disability-inclusive activities, and implement community engagement and communication initiatives. Grant-supported activities will be carried out under a field-level agreement running from 15 December 2026 to 15 August 2027, with food distribution activities scheduled from January through July 2027.

Eligibility

Applicants must be legally registered nongovernmental organizations operating in Venezuela and must submit a valid Registro de Información Fiscal (RIF) together with proof of registration under the applicable NGO oversight legislation.
