September 2022 - 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 emergency medical and security evacuations. This project operates in Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Haiti, Honduras, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. It also includes support for WFP’s Immediate Response Account. 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 five years and pregnant and lactating women; (3) providing logistical support and enabling access to the most remote and challenging locations.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to food assistance for crisis-affected populations; (2) increased access to supplementary feeding for vulnerable groups, including children and pregnant and lactating women; and (3) increased logistics and increased access to remote and challenging areas for humanitarian workers. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
