These locations have been chosen for their transport connections and proximity to disaster-prone areas. When an emergency occurs, this pre-positioning allows relief items to be dispatched within 48 hours upon request of partners. In addition to its capacity for immediate mobilization, UNHRD offers a wide range of other benefits and services to its partners.
WFP works with partners to deliver school-based health and nutrition services. School feeding provides children with the calories they need to fuel their learning, gives parents strong incentive to keep them in school, and helps build the human capital countries need to reach their development potential.
Climate change is increasing the frequency of climate-related disasters, creating greater risks of hunger and the breakdown of food systems.
WFP is working with governments, international partners, researchers and local communities to analyse and understand the impacts of climate change. Through programmes, innovations, policy and technical support we are helping those most at risk to become climate resilient and food secure. Smallholder farmers are highly vulnerable to hunger.
WFP collaborates with national governments to help forge sustainable food systems more inclusive of smallholder farmers along the value chain. This includes buying their produce for WFP programmes, introducing them to formal markets, and enabling access to skills, knowledge and infrastructure to develop their livelihoods and make them more resilient to risks.
National governments are increasingly taking the lead in the fight against hunger. WFP offers a wide range of capacity development and technical assistance services to facilitate the design and delivery of sustainable national solutions to combat hunger and malnutrition.
WFP facilitates the transfer of knowledge, skills, resources and technical know-how, including through its Centres of Excellence in Brazil, China and Ivory Coast. In , WFP assisted 97 million people - the largest number since - in 90 countries.

But WFP also works to help prevent hunger in the future.
They do this through programmes that use food to build assets, spread knowledge and nurture stronger, more dynamic communities. This helps communities become more food secure. Investment in agriculture and rural development to boost food production and nutrition is a priority for the World Bank Group. The World Bank Group works with partners to improve food security and build a food system that can feed everyone, everywhere, every day.
Activities include encouraging climate-smart farming techniques and restoring degraded farmland, breeding more resilient and nutritious crops and improving storage and supply chains for reducing food losses.
Its main purpose is to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. Its three main goals: the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; the elimination of poverty and the driving forward of economic and social progress for all; and, the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources, including land, water, air, climate and genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
FAO also issues the food price index , which is a measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities. The International Fund for Agricultural Development IFAD has focused exclusively on rural poverty reduction, working with poor rural populations in developing countries to eliminate poverty, hunger and malnutrition, raise their productivity and incomes, and improve the quality of their lives.
All IFAD-funded programmes and projects address food and nutrition security in some way. IFAD has supported about million poor rural people over the past four decades.
