AGENDA FOR
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly
formally adopted the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development.
The World Food Programme is focusing on
Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger.
We can help in four areas:
1. Ensuring everyone has access to food
2. Bringing down levels of malnutrition
3. Ensuring enough food is available
4. Making food systems as resilient as possible

WHAT WE DO
1011
SAVING
LIVES
The World Food Programme is best known for its
life-saving work in emergencies.
When disaster strikes, WFP gets vital food
assistance to people in need.
We also provide food and support that bridges
the gap between relief and recovery.
12FOOD
DISTRIBUTIONS
When food is not available on local markets, or
people cannot get to the shops, we deliver food
to them. We work with local NGO partners to
organize the distributions.
Foods provided can include:
• Flour/rice/bulgur
• Lentils/split peas
• Cooking oil
• Iodized salt
To prevent and treat malnutrition we provide
specialized nutritional products formulated for
particular nutritional needs.
13PROVIDING FOOD
ASSISTANCE WITH
CASH
When food is available on the market but
people cannot afford it, we often provide
cash. This enables people to buy what they
need, when they need it. Sometimes we
provide food vouchers that can be redeemed
at local retailers.
Distributing cash allows people to spend in their
communities and so boosts local economies.
WFP’s deep field presence and analysis of food
security and market data inform smart decisions,
also allowing a switch between cash and food
rations, if needed.
In 2016, cash and vouchers worth US$880 million
helped out 14 million people in 60 countries.
14WORKING TO END
MALNUTRITION
Improving nutrition is a core element of our
work, whether we’re working in an
emergency or a longer-term setting.
WFP helps ensure people have access to
nutritious diets so they get what they need to live
healthy, productive lives.
We focus particularly on people with high nutrient
needs, such as young children, adolescent girls,
pregnant women and nursing mothers.
15OUR WORK
We do whatever it takes to ensure those
furthest behind can get the safe, nutritious
food they need.
We tackle causes, not just symptoms, by:
• Helping governments develop and implement
anti-hunger strategies
• Helping the most vulnerable people eat more
nutritious food
• Ensuring people have access to food — even
in emergencies
• Helping make food systems in countries
more resilient to shocks.
