About

The World Food Programme (WFP) invites Expressions of Interest from qualified partners to support the implementation of activities under the proposed Syria Country Strategic Plan (CSP). The programme aims to assist crisis-affected and severely food-insecure populations in Syria by addressing essential food and nutrition needs while strengthening their capacity to withstand future shocks. It also seeks to support the development of inclusive, shock-responsive social protection systems and sustainable school-based programmes through collaboration with national institutions and partners. Funding will support the delivery of cash-based transfers, in-kind food assistance, and individual-level capacity strengthening in prioritized locations across Syria. Priority thematic areas include disability inclusion, emergency response and management, school meals, cash and food assistance, malnutrition prevention and treatment, social protection, multidimensional poverty reduction, and social safety nets. Activities related to institutional capacity strengthening, service delivery, and Strategic Outcome 2 on resilience and livelihoods are not included under this call and will be addressed through separate processes. The engagement period is from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029, with the possibility of a one-year extension based on programme requirements, funding availability, and partner performance. Grant amounts are not specified in the call and will be determined according to approved programme activities and available funding.

Eligibility

Applicants must demonstrate relevant sectoral expertise and proven experience in the thematic areas covered by the call. Preference will be given to organizations with established experience working with United Nations agencies, strong local presence and operational capacity within Syria, and a track record of successfully delivering similar programmes. Proposals will be evaluated based on the quality and clarity of the proposed activities and expected results, the applicant’s organizational structure and technical capacity, demonstrated experience and relevant memberships, contribution of organizational resources, and overall cost-effectiveness. Organizations should be able to effectively manage and implement WFP-supported interventions and demonstrate the capacity to achieve programme objectives in the targeted locations.
