ABOUT WFP
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide and working in 123 countries and territories. WFP is well known for its ability to deliver food assistance rapidly to people in need. To respond effectively in the challenging contexts in which WFP operates, staff require sound knowledge of the fundamentals of emergency and transition programming, as well as skills in specialized areas. WFP was the recipient of the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize awarded for its efforts to combat hunger, for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war.
The World Food Programmeโs engagement in the Philippines is constantly evolving. Initially commencing operations in the 1960s, WFP officially re-established its presence in 2006 to support the peace process in Mindanao, to provide life-saving food assistance in emergencies and to develop programmes to improve nutrition and the overall quality of life of people vulnerable to food insecurity. Since 1 March 2024, WFP has been implementing the 2024-2028 Country Strategic Plan (CSP) to support the Government of the Philippines in i) addressing food insecurity, ii) reducing malnutrition and iii) strengthening the resilience of vulnerable populations. In the CSP, WFP identified three outcomes and five main activities:
- Strategic outcome 1: By 2028, communities exposed to shocks and stressors in the Philippines are better able to meet food, nutrition and other essential needs with inclusive and equitable emergency preparedness and response capacity at the national and local levels.
- Strategic outcome 2: By 2028, communities vulnerable to food and nutrition insecurity in the Philippines are more resilient and can better manage risks affecting human capital gains and food systems, inclusively and equitably.
- Strategic outcome 3: The Government and partners in the Philippines access WFP services that augment their interventions, upon request.
