WFP Namibia Country Brief August 2026

Country: Namibia Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. WFP is supporting the Government of the Republic of Namibia to reinforce emergency preparedness, social protection, and food‐systems resilience under its Country Strategic Plan (2025–2029). Inflation increased to 4.4 percent during the reporting period, representing the highest monthly rate recorded so far this year. Rising consumer prices are expected to erode household purchasing power, with the greatest impact likely to be felt by vulnerable households and those dependent on fixed or low incomes. To support the development of Namibia's National Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF) Strengthening Strategy, the Government of Namibia, with technical assistance from WFP, organized a South-South Learning Mission to Zambia and Rwanda from 19 to 31 July 2026. The mission brought together senior representatives from the National Planning Commission, Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform, the European Union Delegation, and WFP Namibia.
