WFP Caribbean Community Annual Country Report 2025

In 2025, The UN World Food Programme (WFP) provided cash assistance to 11,448 people in Barbados, Jamaica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and food support to 127,662 people in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa. Through parallel efforts to strengthen national social protection and disaster risk management systems, WFP indirectly enhanced the resilience of 1.1 million people across 11 Caribbean countries.

By linking sovereign parametric insurance with social protection frameworks, WFP enabled the rapid disbursement of USD 1.6 million to disaster-affected households in Jamaica, accelerating early recovery. WFP's common services platform further supported the coordinated humanitarian response, storing 1,500 m³ and transporting 3,200 m³ of relief cargo, and coordinating 131 shipments for 76 partners.
