WFP Moldova Country Brief, April 2026 (Reporting Period: February 2026)

Country: Moldova Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. Conclusion of Operations Only four years after its first‐ever entry into the Republic of Moldova1, WFP successfully concluded its operations in February 2026—a significant organizational achievement and a clear example of strategic, responsible exit. Designed from the outset with a temporary footprint, this ‘entry–exit model’ delivered substantial results for refugees, vulnerable Moldovans affected by the war in Ukraine, and national systems. By focusing on its comparative advantage and deploying an integrated humanitarian response package, complemented by deliberate partnerships with the Government and key UN agencies, WFP rapidly scaled up operations, delivered efficiently, and transitioned proactively towards a responsible exit, leaving behind strengthened systems and lasting impact. This sets a new benchmark for cost‐efficient, time‐bound operations—highly relevant in today’s environment of shrinking resources, expanding needs, and increased scrutiny of humanitarian actors. WFP Moldova extends its sincere appreciation to the Government, donors and all its partners for their trust and collaboration. Their support has enabled WFP to meet urgent humanitarian needs while strengthening nationally led systems that will endure beyond WFP presence. As WFP concluded its operations in Moldova, this collaboration stands as a testament to what sustained, principled investment can achieve. WFP remains deeply grateful for the Government’s commitment to the people of Moldova and to supporting a responsible, resilient transition.
