About the NGO:
The World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. Born in 1961, WFP pursues a vision of the world in which every man, woman and child has access at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life. We work towards that vision with our sister UN agencies in Rome — the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) — as well as other government, UN and NGO partners.
On average, WFP reaches more than 80 million people with food assistance in 75 countries each year. About 11,500 people work for the organization, most of them in remote areas, directly serving the hungry poor.
What the World Food Programme is doing in Central African Republic
WFP activities are carried out through three projects in support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 1 through 6 in order to address the country’s complex challenges. Activities are consistent with national strategies and conform to humanitarian partner interventions. WFP operations are thus in line with the Government’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper II (2011-2015) and the intergovernmental United Nations Peacebuilding Commission’s Strategic Framework for Peacebuilding (2009-2011). WFP’s interventions are also coordinated through the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (2012-2016) and the annual Consolidated Appeals Process.
