ABOUT WFP
The World Food Programme (WFP) is a United Nations frontline agency in the fight against hunger, continually responding to emergencies. Assisting 91.4 million people in around 83 countries each year, the World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. On any given day, WFP has 5,000 trucks, 20 ships and 92 planes on the move, delivering food and other assistance to those in most need. Every year, we distribute more than 15 billion rations at an estimated average cost per ration of US$ 0.31. These numbers lie at the roots of WFP’s unparalleled reputation as an emergency responder, one that gets the job done quickly at scale in the most difficult environments. WFP’s efforts focus on emergency assistance, relief and rehabilitation, development aid and special operations.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
WFP Ethiopia is working with the government and other humanitarian partners to strengthen the resilience of Ethiopia’s most vulnerable population and to chart a more prosperous and sustainable future for the next generation. The Country Office also supports programmes that use food assistance to empower women, transform areas affected by climate change and keep children in school. It aims to contribute to Ethiopia’s five-year development agenda, the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), through which the Government combats food insecurity.
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Ethiopia in collaboration with World Food Programme (WFP) Ethiopia are currently piloting an innovative project “Towards universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights services “, through strengthened linkages between humanitarian food distribution and Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR) in the Somali Region (2018-2020). The project offers an innovative strategy and approach by establishing coherence between humanitarian food assistance and access to information about family planning (FP) and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) , ensuring access to all family planning services and making all modern methods available at intervention sites within the overall framework of promoting SRHRs. The project is being implemented in two zonal administrations of Siti and Fafan (i.e. eight districts and Jigjiga city council) of the Somali region which are known to have humanitarian food distribution spots and host Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements.
The innovative approach and collaboration between WFP and UNFPA will create a platform for nexus planning and building resilience for both organizations.
