Support for the Delivery of Cash and In-Kind Assistance to Disaster-Affected Populations in Jamaica

Objectives: The grant aims to provide in-kind food assistance to crisis-affected populations in Jamaica, ensuring they can meet their food and nutrition needs during and after disasters. The primary modality is in-kind distribution, with provisions for cash-in-hand and commodity vouchers if necessary. This initiative aligns with the strategic goals of the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Jamaican government to enhance emergency preparedness and fortify social protection systems tailored to climate risks. The expected outcomes include improved access to food, fortified national response capabilities, and established accountability frameworks. The program targets 15,000 individuals across 5,000 households, ensuring the efficient and systematic delivery of essential food and nutrition support.
