Mission and objectives
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency, fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetime. 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. In emergencies, WFP gets food to
where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict, and natural disasters. After an emergency, WFP uses food to help communities rebuild their lives. On average, WFP reaches more than 80 million people with food assistance in 80 countries annually. The organization has the global footprint, deep field presence and local knowledge and relationships necessary to provide access to food and contribute to lasting solutions,
especially in many of the world’s most remote and fragile areas.
Context
In Uganda, WFP provides humanitarian and lifesaving assistance in the forms of food and nutrition assistance to over 1.39m refugees across the 13 refugee settlements in the country, supports smallholder farmer production, market, and value chain activities, undertakes school feeding, as well as livelihood and resilience programmes. Through these programme interventions, WFP responds to both the humanitarian and emergency situations in Uganda to meet the needs of vulnerable people, to save and change their lives, and to promote inclusion and resilience building.
As Uganda strives to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and become a middle-income country by 2040, WFP is also assessing its relevance and repositioning its role in Uganda as a key partner through its partnerships with government and other key stakeholders at various levels.
