WFP provides food assistance to vulnerable populations as a means of addressing hunger and global food insecurity. WFP has demonstrated knowledge and capacity to address the urgent food needs of vulnerable populations, and contribute to fighting global hunger. Given WFP’s presence and capacity, there are no other agencies that are able to perform the same functions on a similar scale as WFP. Decided on the basis of need, CIDA funding is supporting WFP food assistance operations in Sudan and South Sudan in 2012. WFP’s main programming areas in humanitarian contexts the provision of food assistance to address acute malnutrition and food insecurity, and to protect livelihoods.
