World Food Program
Headquartered in
Rome,
Italy, the
World Food Program (
WFP) distributes
food commodities to support development projects, to long-term
refugees and displaced persons, and as emergency food assistance in situations of natural and man-made disasters. Development projects now constitute less than 20% of WFP programs, as emergency and protracted refugee situations result in increasing demands for WFP programs and resources. WFP operates exclusively on contributions of commodities and cash donated by governments.
