Contesto

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

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.

Obiettivi

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 while supporting countries in ensuring no one is left behind.

Gruppi target The ICSP 2017-2020 prioritizes assistance to severely food insecure and moderately malnourished populations. Beneficiary targeting will be conducted at geographic and household levels: the most vulnerable districts will be ranked, and within prioritized districts, activity 1 (general food assistance) beneficiaries will be identified using proxy indicators and through health facilities. Geographic targeting under strategic outcome 3 (Vulnerable households across Yemen have access to equitable social safety nets and basic services during and in the aftermath of crises) will reflect education cluster priorities and opportunities for complementary support through partners.
Effetti a medio termine

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.
