The World Food Programme (WFP; French: Programme Alimentaire Mondial; Italian: Programma Alimentare Mondiale; Spanish: Programa Mundial de Alimentos) is the food assistance branch of the United Nations and the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger and promoting food security. According to the WFP, it provides food assistance to an average of 80 million people in 75 countries each year. From its headquarters in Rome and more than 80 country offices around the world, the WFP works to help people who are unable to produce or obtain enough food for themselves and their families. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group and part of its Executive Committee.
Overview
WFP was first established in 1961 after the 1960 Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Conference, when George McGovern, director of the US Food for Peace Programmes, proposed establishing a multilateral food aid programme. The WFP was formally established in 1963 by the FAO and the United Nations General Assembly on a three-year experimental basis. In 1965, the programme was extended to a continuing basis.

In terms of innovations, WFP is increasingly bringing in non-profits and the private sector that have a lot of experience to help us do our job better by using innovations to help us deliver against all odds. By partnering with Trademark East Africa for instance, WFP has secured Authorized Economic Operator status, which has slashed the time trucks carrying WFP assistance spend crossing so we have lower transport costs and food assistance much reaches the hungry faster.

How does the World Food Programme work at creating a world free of hunger?
Creating a world without hunger is the reason the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) exists.
While rising costs, climate, conflict, and war all continue to impact global food insecurity, WFP remains committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals: specifically, SDG Goal 2: Zero Hunger.
So how does WFP help people in places where hunger persists?
This video introduces you to the different ways WFP is addressing food insecurity and fighting famine across the globe. From providing people with food during emergencies, to developing and supporting programmes that help communities, farmers, and local markets become more resilient against future food insecurity.
Together, we can banish hunger to the history books. Because a world without hunger is a dream we all share.

WFP: Who We Are, What We Do, Why We Do It
WFP is the worlds' largest humanitarian organization and the UN's frontline emergency relief agency..each year we feed around 90 million people in more than 80 countries. We are the ones trucking convoys of food across mine fields in Afghanistan, choppering supplies through snowstorms in Pakistan and hurricanes in Haiti and dropping aid out of the backs of C-130 planes into Sudan.

Hunger Crisis: WFP Faces Funding Cut | World Food Program
Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Program (WFP) Carl Skau, said that the Programme is in the midst of a “crippling funding crisis” and it is forced to “scale back lifesaving assistance, right as acute hunger is hitting record levels.”
Speaking to reporters in New York today (28 Jul), Skau said, “At least 38 of 86 WFP country operations have already seen cuts or plan to cut soon. The size and scope of life-saving food cash and nutrition assistant programs, that is almost half of WFP’s operations worldwide.”
The Deputy Executive Director highlighted, “We're entering a humanitarian doom loop, where we save people who are starving at the cost of allowing millions of others to fall closer into that same category. Ration cuts are not the way to go forward.”

Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Program (WFP) Carl Skau, said that the Programme is in the midst of a “crippling funding crisis” and it is forced to “scale back lifesaving assistance, right as acute hunger is hitting record levels.”
Speaking to reporters in New York today (28 Jul), Skau said, “At least 38 of 86 WFP country operations have already seen cuts or plan to cut soon. The size and scope of life-saving food cash and nutrition assistant programs, that is almost half of WFP’s operations worldwide.”
The Deputy Executive Director highlighted, “We're entering a humanitarian doom loop, where we save people who are starving at the cost of allowing millions of others to fall closer into that same category. Ration cuts are not the way to go forward.”
He called on world leaders to “prioritize funding for humanitarian response and as coordination among aid organizations in government and invest in long term solution that can address the root causes of this crisis such as conflict, poverty reduction, and sustainable development.”
Skau also said, “The largest food and nutrition crisis in history today persists. This year 345 million people continue to be acutely food insecure, while hundreds of millions of people are at risk of worsening hunger.”
He further explained, “The causes of this food crisis are manifold, climate change and unrelenting disasters and added pressure from persistent food price inflation and mounting depth distress or stress amid an unexpected slowdown in the global economy. But conflict and insecurity remain a primary driver of acute hunger around the world.”
The WFP’s deputy chief added, “The impacts of armed conflict on food security can be direct such as displacement from land looting, or destruction of food stocks and agricultural assets.”
He continued, “Indirect impact can include the disruption of the food system and markets and decreases access to supplies necessary for food preparation, such as fuel and water. Many of the countries where WFP works are dramatic examples of the link between conflict and hunger.”
On Sudan, Skau said that on Thursday (27 Jul), an interagency mission carried out a humanitarian assessment to Darfur, crossing from Adré in Chad and traveling to El Geneina in West Darfur, “this is the first time that we have been able to reach El Geneina since the start of the conflict in April.”
He continued, “The team passed through towns and villages that are almost totally abandoned, following a mass exodus of people. Most infrastructure from health facilities to banks has been destroyed. And those that remain are mostly women and their children who are acutely vulnerable and have not been able to flee because they're too scared.”
The collapse of the Black Sea Initiative is of course regrettable, to say the least,” the Deputy Executive Director said.
He added, “Under the initiative, WFP has shipped more than 725,000 tons of grain relieving hunger in some of the hardest hit corners of the world, including Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa. And Yemen.”
Skau reiterated, “WFP relied on Ukraine, a competitively priced, accessible and high-quality source of wheat, despite the war, and thanks to this accord, Ukraine remained WFP’s biggest supplier of wheat in 2022, supplying more than half of WFP’s wheat grain.”
“Losing the source is now of great concern of course, and this is really about keeping the barn door open, just when millions are knocking on it. The world needs unity.

The World Food Programme (WFP; French: Programme Alimentaire Mondial; Italian: Programma Alimentare Mondiale; Spanish: Programa Mundial de Alimentos) is the food assistance branch of the United Nations and the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger and promoting food security. According to the WFP, it provides food assistance to an average of 80 million people in 75 countries each year. From its headquarters in Rome and more than 80 country offices around the world, the WFP works to help people who are unable to produce or obtain enough food for themselves and their families. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group and part of its Executive Committee.
Overview
WFP was first established in 1961 after the 1960 Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Conference, when George McGovern, director of the US Food for Peace Programmes, proposed establishing a multilateral food aid programme. The WFP was formally established in 1963 by the FAO and the United Nations General Assembly on a three-year experimental basis. In 1965, the programme was extended to a continuing basis.
