A new PRRO to cover the old PRRO beneficiaries and EMOP beneficiaries is currently under approval process. The new PRRO is planned for 461,000 beneficiaries. The project will cover Food for Work, Nutrition & supplementary Feeding, Food For training and Refugees.

The food supplies for all projects are covered through local purchase, regional purchase and international purchase.

The Local and Regional purchase are done for the EMOP, PRRO & CP ACT2 and all the times on DDU terms directly to the EDPs. WFP Ghana only facilitates the customs clearance approval from the Government.

For CP ACT 1 shipments are cleared under supervision of WFP CO by C&F agent appointed by the Government who take over the food at the Port for onward transport and distribution to beneficiaries.

All shipments are surveyed by WFP appointed superintendent at the time of delivery.
