Contexto

Founded in 1961, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger and under-nutrition. Responding to emergencies and saving lives and livelihoods – directly and by strengthening country response capacities – form the major part of WFP’s operations.

However, ending hunger remains a significant global challenge which must be achieved in the context of increasingly complex and protracted humanitarian needs. It requires WFP to act as a part of a system by helping to shape the way in which partners interact and relate to each other. WFP’s Strategic Plan (2017-2021) is responding to these challenges by fully aligning its activities to the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 17 mainly.

On average, WFP reaches more than 80 million people with food assistance in 80 countries each year, mostly women and children. Around 14’000 people work for the organization, most of them in remote areas, directly serving the hungry poor.

Objetivos

WFP’s vision is a world in which every man, woman and child has access at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life. Without food, there can be no sustainable peace, no democracy and no development.

The overall goal of WFP is providing immediate food assistance in life-threatening situations.

WFP provides emergency food assistance in the aftermath of natural or man-made disasters and supports food assistance programmes that bridge the gap between relief and recovery, helping communities build a better future. In addition, WFP’s longer-term approaches to hunger, such as building community resilience and promoting the scale-up of social protection and cash-based transfer interventions, help the transition from recovery to development.

The objectives of WFP are aligned with the Agenda 2030, whereas WFP will prioritize SDG 2, on achieving zero hunger; and SDG 17, on partnering to support implementation of the SDGs.

Resultados

Resultados previstos:   WFP fights hunger in least-developed and low-income countries where victims of natural disasters, refugees, displaced people and the hungry poor face severe food shortages. The frontline stretches from sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East to Latin America and Asia Pacific.


Resultados de las fases anteriores:   WFP’s agility in responding to humanitarian needs, its ability to innovate and learn and its willingness to act when called on by its partners are recognized as core strengths that support partners’ responses to increasing and more complex humanitarian needs.
