WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME FUNDS FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE

Description                                                                       Total amount: 1 000 000 USD

The World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. WFP is part of the United Nations system and is voluntarily funded. In emergencies, we get food to where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict and natural disasters. After the cause of an emergency has passed, we use food to help communities rebuild their shattered lives. The United Nations World Food Programme has announced a new Fund for NGOs called ‘the Cooperating Partners’ Innovation Fund’ (CPIF). This Fund aims to promote collaboration with NGOs in the design and development of new tools and approaches for food assistance.
