SAVING LIVES
IN EMERGENCIES

1 2 3 4 5 6
WFP is one of the first agencies on the ground in global emergencies caused by
conflict, climate shocks, pandemics and other disasters. We provide life-saving
support to people at risk of going hungry, and we coordinate the response of the
global humanitarian community to large-scale emergencies. Read more about our
emergencies
WFP is continuously scanning the world for potential risks to vulnerable
populations. When an emergency strikes, we use the information at hand to
organize our response and launch our operation, rapidly deploying skilled
emergency personnel and working with hundreds of partners, including sister UN
agencies and local NGOs. Read more about our emergencies
We organize WFP and partners’ supplies and staff to be shipped via the UN
Humanitarian Air Service and network of UN Humanitarian Response Depots. We also
call upon the Logistics, Telecommunications and Food Security clusters to ensure
the humanitarian community’s needs are fully covered. Read more about our
emergencies
We work with government agencies, local authorities, emergency partners and,
above all, the affected communities themselves to identify places and people in
most need, using innovative methods including geospatial technology. Read more
about our emergencies
We provide communities with food, cash or a combination of both, depending on
the emergency context and people’s urgent needs. We provide food, ideally buying
it locally, or opt for cash assistance where local markets are functioning. Read
more about our emergencies
An emergency may last a few months or several years. When the situation has
stabilized, WFP either withdraws staff and other resources, or implements
longer-term programmes that protect and improve people’s livelihoods. We also
review our response together with impartial assessors to inform and improve our
future work. Read more about our emergencies


CHANGING LIVES
WORLDWIDE




FOOD ASSISTANCE: CASH-BASED AND IN-KIND

WFP distributes food in areas where it is scarce. In places where food is
available but unaffordable, we give vulnerable people cash or vouchers to buy
nutritious ingredients. These cash transfers give people more choice, protect
them from financial exploitation, and support the local economy. Read more


RESILIENCE BUILDING

WFP’s long experience in humanitarian and development contexts has positioned
the organization well to support resilience building in order to improve food
security and nutrition. WFP helps the most vulnerable people strengthen their
capacities to absorb, adapt and transform in the face of shocks and long-term
stressors. Read more


NUTRITION

Chronic malnutrition has profound, long-term effects on health and life
prospects. WFP works with governments and partners to help vulnerable groups,
such as women, children and people receiving treatment for HIV and tuberculosis,
access nutritious diets. Our programmes include distributing specialized
nutritious foods, fortifying staples, designing and implementing school feeding,
and enabling dietary diversification. Read more


SCHOOL HEALTH AND NUTRITION

WFP works with partners to deliver school-based health and nutrition services.
School feeding provides children with the calories they need to fuel their
learning, gives parents strong incentive to keep them in school, and helps build
the human capital countries need to reach their development potential. Read more


SOCIAL PROTECTION AND SAFETY NETS

As the number of people who do not have enough to eat worldwide far exceeds
WFP’s capacity to provide assistance, we work with governments to ensure this
can be done through national systems, including social protection schemes. Read
more


CLIMATE ACTION

Climate change is increasing the frequency of climate-related disasters,
creating greater risks of hunger and the breakdown of food systems. WFP is
working with governments, international partners, researchers and local
communities to analyse and understand the impacts of climate change. Through
programmes, innovations, policy and technical support we are helping those most
at risk to become climate resilient and food secure. Read more


SMALLHOLDER FARMERS MARKET SUPPORT

Smallholder farmers are highly vulnerable to hunger. WFP collaborates with
national governments to help forge sustainable food systems more inclusive of
smallholder farmers along the value chain. This includes buying their produce
for WFP programmes, introducing them to formal markets, and enabling access to
skills, knowledge and infrastructure to develop their livelihoods and make them
more resilient to risks. Read more


COUNTRY CAPACITY STRENGTHENING AND SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION

National governments are increasingly taking the lead in the fight against
hunger. WFP offers a wide range of capacity development and technical assistance
services to facilitate the design and delivery of sustainable national solutions
to combat hunger and malnutrition. WFP facilitates the transfer of knowledge,
skills, resources and technical know-how, including through its Centres of
Excellence in Brazil, China and Ivory Coast. Read more


WHERE WE WORK

In 2021, WFP assisted 128.2 million people in over 120 countries and
territories.
