Food Security Crisis: The UN World Food Programme warns Guinea-Bissau’s lean season is getting worse, with funding cuts forcing reductions to school meals (from 283,400 to about 152,000) and suspending specialized nutrition for under-2s, as supply disruptions and rising costs push nearly 130,000 people toward crisis hunger. Energy Access: The World Bank says a West Africa power programme has expanded electricity access to over 3 million people, building more than 4,000 km of transmission lines linking 15 countries and boosting cross-border power trade. US Deportations: The US DHS confirmed deportations of 355 West Africans under its WOW initiative, including 110 Nigerians; the list also names one person from Guinea-Bissau. Health Workforce: Five Guinea-Bissau doctors returned from postgraduate specialist training in Venezuela, ready to strengthen the country’s health system. Climate Finance: GEF funds approved new resilience projects for Guinea-Bissau, with over $67m in support for vulnerable countries to tackle flood/coastal risks and improve food and water security.
