ABOUT WFP

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado continues to deteriorate due to consecutive climate shocks, insecurity and violence, leading to significant displacement, increase in protection related issues, disruption of livelihoods and lack of access to basic services. Since October 2017, Cabo Delgado has been experiencing a series of attacks by unidentified Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) from the region. In March 2020, the attacks escalated significantly and show no signs of abating with thousands of civilians have been killed and approximately 700,000 people have been internally displaced since the outbreak of the violence in 2017. As this conflict and displacement has become protracted, the Government has commenced setting up resettlement sites to cater to the steadily increasing number of IDP who tend to take shelter in the homes of host families. IDPs remain in dire need of humanitarian assistance, placing additional strain on community resources and already chronically poor host families.
