Climate Finance for Guinea-Bissau: The GEF’s LDCF/SCCF Council approved a new resilience package for vulnerable countries, including Guinea-Bissau, with over $67 million in fresh funding and nearly $218 million in co-financing. Projects aim to cut flood and coastal risks, boost food and water security, strengthen disaster preparedness, protect ecosystems, and expand resilient livelihoods. Food Crisis Watch: The World Food Programme warns hunger is worsening in Guinea-Bissau as funding shortfalls force cuts during the June–August lean season, with school meals reduced from 283,400 to about 152,000 and specialized nutrition for under-twos suspended. Rice Pressure in West Africa: The AfDB urges West Africa to move from plans to action on rice, warning a $3.5bn annual import bill drains foreign reserves, while early funding includes support for Guinea-Bissau under a regional resilient rice programme. Deportation List Includes Guinea-Bissau: The US released names and photos of 355 people to be deported from West Africa; the list includes 1 person from Guinea-Bissau.
