THE UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD

Objet publié

This is one of the projects that make up the United Nations’ 2012 Consolidated Appeal Process for the West Bank and Gaza. The initiative aims to help the World Food Program (WFP) address food insecurity and improve dietary diversity for poor and vulnerable non-refugees in the West Bank. The project also helps improve government capacity to monitor and predict food insecurity. Activities include: (i) distributing emergency food assistance and food vouchers to 263,000 beneficiaries in vulnerable households to promote dietary diversity and support the local economy; (ii), supporting herder and Bedouin communities of the West Bank; and (iii) ongoing implementation of the Food Security and Monitoring System in cooperation with the Palestinian Central Bureau for Statistics.
