Published purpose
August 2012 - CIDA's institutional support to the World Food Programme (WFP) contributes to meeting the food assistance needs of vulnerable populations, thereby contributing to greater global food security. Specifically, this funding helps WFP reach its objectives which are to: i) save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies, with a focus on internally displaced populations, refugees and other vulnerable populations; ii) prevent acute hunger and invest in disaster preparedness and mitigation measures; iii) restore and rebuild lives and livelihoods in post-conflict, post-disaster or transition situations; iv) reduce chronic hunger and under nutrition; and v) strengthen the capacities of countries to reduce hunger through handover strategies and local purchase. CIDA's support provides WFP with the flexibility to determine where food assistance needs are the greatest. The grant supports WFP's food assistance programming.
