World Food Programme (WFP) - Algeria

Unverified non-profit organisation

Set-up in 1963, WFP is the United Nations frontline agency in the fight against global hunger. WFP uses its food to: meet emergency needs and support economic and social development. It also provides the logistics support necessary to get food aid to the right people at the right time and in the right place. WFP food aid, which reached 86.1 million people in 80 countries in 2007, is leading the fight against the number one risk to global health. Since 1986, WFP has assisted the Government of Algeria in meeting the basic food needs of the Western Sahara refugees living in the desert camps.
