Additional Contribution to WFP in Response to the Ebola Emergency (EMOP 200761 & SO 200773)
WFP’s Emergency Operation supports the health response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa by ensuring the basic food and nutrition needs of patients, families and communities affected by the virus; it is thus in line with Switzerland’s focus to mitigate secondary effects of the Ebola crisis. The contribution to WFP’s Special Operation supports all three areas of assistance, i.e. 1. Treatment and prevention operations to help contain the epidemic; 2. Strengthening to the local health systems; and 3. Mitigating the adverse secondary effects of the crisis, including food shortages.

Background |
The current outbreak of the Ebola virus in West Africa is the most serious ever recorded in terms of its geographical distribution, the number of people who have been infected, and those that have fallen victim. The health crisis is having immediate humanitarian implications. The Ebola crisis is anticipated to carry into 2015, and the full impact of the crisis on food security, livelihoods, and economies is anticipated to be significant, particularly among the most vulnerable population groups. |
Objectives |

The Special Operation (SO 200773) has been established to augment the capacity of the humanitarian response under the United Nations System umbrella, and to support UNMEER efforts to stop the spread of Ebola. |
