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 World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. WFP Republic of Congo (RoC)’s Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2019-2024 aims to support the Government in reaching the National Development Plan (2022-2026)’s goals through five Strategic Outcomes.
In contributing towards SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), strategic outcome 1 focuses on meeting the basic food and nutrition requirements of those affected by shocks through unconditional and/or conditional food and nutrition assistance. WFP assists refugees, children under 5, pregnant and lactating women, flood-affected people and vulnerable households in urban areas. Strategic outcome 2 aims to complement and support national social protection interventions through the provision of nutritious school meals to school children and technical support to the Government. This is implemented in line with the National School Feeding Policy (2016) which was developed with WFP. Through strategic outcome 3, WFP and partners enhance the resilience of local communities by strengthening the capacity of smallholder farmers and encouraging market-oriented and climate-resilient livelihoods. Working towards SDG 17 (Partnerships for Development), strategic outcome 4 and 5 focus on sharing knowledge, expertise and technology to support country efforts to achieve the SDGs. This is achieved through the provision of on-demand logistics common services for national humanitarian and development actors.
