Description:

[January , 2024] The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies, saves lives by quickly getting food assistance (cash or in-kind) to vulnerable food insecure populations and helps prevent hunger. As the global lead agency for logistics and emergency telecommunications, WFP plays a major role in providing common services for the humanitarian community. It transports humanitarian workers, carries light cargo for humanitarian agencies and carries out emergency medical and security evacuations. This project operates in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. With GAC’s support, WFP provides targeted food assistance to vulnerable populations to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity, and protect livelihoods. Project activities include: (1) distributing food and cash-based transfer; (2) providing supplementary feeding for children under the age of 5 years, as well as pregnant and lactating women; and (3) providing logistical support and enabling access to the most remote and challenging locations.
