Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Dr Aliou Diongue, the newly accredited Representative and Country Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Liberia, on 7 March, presented his Letters of Credence to the Government of Liberia through Foreign Minister Amb. Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was graced by Amb. Vivien Wreh; Sherdrick M. Jackson, Assistant Minister, International Cooperation and Economic Affairs; Nyene-Yaba Freeman Thompson, Assistant Minister for Bureau of International Organization Affairs; and Antoinette M. Wolo, Senior Deputy Chief of Protocol.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the ceremony, Minister Kemayah conveyed his appreciation for WFP\u2019s long-standing partnership with Liberia. \u201cYou can count on the Government of Liberia as a valuable partner. The entire administration very much cherishes and values all of our partners that have come with us along the way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Minister Kemayah described the WFP Country Strategic Plan (CSP) as \u201ca good strategy,\u201d adding that \u201cthe Government of Liberia remains resolute in its commitment to work with WFP to achieve zero hunger\u201d. He then recalled WFP\u2019s long-term emergency, development, and capacity-strengthening interventions in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom 1968, WFP has not only assisted this country with food but has also been with us through our days of the civil crisis, the days of Ebola and Coronavirus and during difficult and good times, you\u2019ve always been there,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

In response, WFP\u2019s new Representative and Country Director reiterated his organization\u2019s commitment to continue collaborating with the government and supporting the people of Liberia to further improve the food and nutrition security and livelihood of the population.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to supporting the government of Liberia and forging towards a second-generation Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for a more integrated, guided, and aligned framework of action\u201d.<\/p>\n

He then invited Minister Kemayah to one day join him on a field mission to get a first-hand account of consolidated impacts of WFP\u2019s work in Liberia. WFP\u2019s operations in Liberia began with school feeding in 1968 and have since expanded to include emergency response, livelihoods, and agricultural assets development for rural dwellers, scaling up nutrition, and capacity strengthening.<\/p>\n

On 27 August 2019, WFP and the Government of Liberia jointly launched WFP\u2019s Country Strategic Plan that serves as the framework of action for WFP to support the Government of Liberia and development partners in achieving zero hunger by 2030.<\/p>\n

The United Nations World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. It is the world\u2019s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability, and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters, and the impact of climate change.<\/p>\n
