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.

In 2002, WFP fed 72 million people in 82 countries, including most of the world’s refugees and internally displaced people.In 2011, WFP aims to bring food assistance to more than 90 million people in 73 countries.
As the United Nations frontline agency in the fight against hunger, WFP is continually responding to emergencies. They save lives by getting food to the hungry fast.

But WFP also works to help prevent hunger in the future. We do this through programmes that use food as a means to build assets, spread knowledge and nurture stronger, more dynamic communities. This helps communities become more food secure.

WFP has developed expertise in a range of areas including Food Security Analysis, Nutrition, Food Procurement and Logistics to ensure the best solutions for the world’s hungry.
