The World Food Programme (WFP) is the largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide. It was established in 1961 and works to achieve a world with zero hunger. WFP reaches over 80 million people across 75 countries annually, providing food assistance. It is entirely funded through voluntary donations. The document discusses who is affected by hunger, including rural populations and women in developing nations. Key causes of hunger mentioned are food waste, climate issues, poverty, and war. The WFP's strategic plan focuses on emergency aid, building food security, reducing risks, and addressing child malnutrition.
The World Food Program was proposed in 1960 by President Eisenhower and established in 1962 by the UN to provide global food aid and address hunger issues. It aims to save lives during emergencies, prevent hunger, and help restore communities after conflicts or disasters while also reducing chronic hunger long-term by strengthening country capacities. The first director was Addeke Boerma and the WFP works to support development, meet refugee needs, and improve nutrition worldwide through food assistance.

Food loss and waste accounts for approximately one third of all food produced for human consumption globally each year, equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes of edible food. It is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and costs nearly $1 trillion annually. Reducing food loss and waste by just 25% could feed over 800 million hungry people worldwide.
WFP works with a wide range of national and
local first responders, including community based
organizations, NGOs, Red Cross and Red Crescent
National Societies. 75 percent of WFP’s food
assistance is delivered together with NGOs.
Around 800 of WFP’s more than 1,000 NGO partners
are national and local NGOs. These organizations
are often the first to respond to crises and remain in
the communities they serve before, after and during
emergencies.
WFP’s collaboration with NGOs allows beneficiaries
to access assistance at speed and scale, brings
cost efficiencies, strengthens our accountability
to affected populations, and supports innovative
approaches to programming.
The mission of the World Food Programme is to end global hunger. WFP provides food assistance in emergencies and works with governments, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, companies and individuals to tackle the underlying causes of hunger, build self-reliance and improve food security.
The El Niño climate pattern is fueling an international food security crisis for millions of people by disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns and affecting agriculture. The current El Niño event matches the strongest on record and its impact on food security in poor communities will intensify in the coming months. Unless emergency resources are provided swiftly, poor harvests and food scarcity will undermine development progress and vulnerable populations' ability to cope with climate change.
The World Food Programme and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization are working together with farming families in C.A.R. to ensure they have food now as well as at the next harvest. This infographic explains how.
The WFP Innovation Accelerator was opened in Munich, Germany in August 2015 to further nurture the innovative culture of WFP colleagues while collaborating with external experts from diverse sectors and institutions. Linking the operations of WFP with the latest technologies and trends, will support the goal of WFP to end hunger.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
