Through investments in fields related to Sustainable Development Goal 2, the WFP Gambia Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2019–2021 seeks to assist the government in achieving the objectives of the National Development Plan (2017–2021).

In accordance with the National Development Plan, the National Social Protection Policy, and the UN development assistance framework for 2017–2021, WFP support includes direct operational support, knowledge transfer, and technical assistance. It also contributes to WFP’s Strategic Results 1, 2, and 3 and Results 1, 3, and 5.
The CSP focuses on creating resilience in vulnerable populations by providing social safety nets that are gender- and nutrition-responsive for children in primary and early childhood education, pregnant and lactating women and girls, children under the age of five, and livelihood support to smallholder farmers (Strategic outcomes 2, 3, and 4), as well as capacity building to make it easier for national policing to be aligned (Strategic outcome 5).
Support for the creation of a social protection system that mainstreams the national school meal program as a national safety net, food fortification, and south-south and triangular collaboration will be crucial new focal areas.
