About Us

The National Food Assistance Agency (NFAA) was established by the government of the Republic of Liberia in the 1970s as a National Food Assistance Unit following an Executive Order number 1. Then came Executive Order number 4 of 1977 which further ensured the restructuring of the NFAA, thereby placing its functions under the General Services Agency (GSA). But the agency, in the same year, took on the name National Food Assistance Agency (NFAA) with its statutory mandate to serve as a coordinating unit between the government of Liberia and partners on food assistance from foreign donor sources; to assist the various agencies of government in the development of proposals for submission to donors for food assistance; and to coordinate the activities of other National and International Non-governmental Organizations providing food assistances in Liberia.
