WFP Ghana Strengthens Family Connections through FLOCK Activity

The World Food Programme (WFP) Ghana office has held its annual Family Liaison Outreach Community (FLOCK) activity, bringing staff and their families together for a day of learning, knowledge sharing and interactions.  The event was held simultaneously at the Country Office, the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Accra, and the Tamale and Bolgatanga Sub-Offices.

Open to all WFP employees and their families, the event celebrated inclusion, learning, and community, reinforcing WFP's commitment to fostering a supportive and family-friendly workplace.

Children were warmly welcomed by the Country Director, Ms Aurore Rusiga, before taking part in an engaging programme designed to introduce them to WFP's work. They visited various units across the offices, interacting with staff and learning how each team contributes to WFP's mission of supporting vulnerable communities and advancing food security in Ghana.

The young visitors also toured some United Nations sister agencies and facilities, gaining a broader understanding of how the UN system works together to improve lives. The educational experience was complemented by fun-filled activities, including games, special treats, and the presentation of WFP FLOCK notepads for children designed to support child learning.

FLOCK, which stands for Family Liaison Outreach Community – With or Without Kids, is an inclusive initiative that welcomes all WFP employees, regardless of family status. Whether single, in a relationship, a parent, or not, staff members are encouraged to be part of a vibrant community that promotes connection, mutual support, information sharing, and meaningful relationships.

The event provided an opportunity for families to better understand WFP's work while strengthening bonds among colleagues beyond the workplace.

Through initiatives like FLOCK, WFP Ghana continues to cultivate an inclusive organisational culture where employees and their families feel valued, connected, and supported.
