WFP’s mission is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 as per Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2. It works to ensure that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

Through the CSP, WFP promotes access to nutritious diets through home grown school feeding and improving climate smart food production and transformation capacities of small holder farming communities, whilst strengthening standards and guidelines for food transformation to satisfy the increasing demand for nutritious processed and convenient foods. WFP supports national and subnational disaster and climate change risk management and to the national strategic direction and coordination on food security, nutrition and social protection through enhanced information systems, knowledge management, and public-private and south-south partnerships. WFP also responds to the acute food security and early recovery needs of vulnerable women, men, girls and boys impacted by recurrent disasters.
Starting in 2024, WFP will shift to a new CSP (2024-28), which is structured along two broad priorities: human capital development with a focus on nutrition and social protection, and systems strengthening with a focus on the national food systems and the disaster risk management system. All of WFP’s activities are underpinned by strong evidence generation efforts to effectively establish needs, advocate for certain programmes or policies, and demonstrate the effects of assistance programmes. In addition, evidence and knowledge generation is becoming an important offering by WFP to its national counterparts.
