Transforming Food Aid to Food Assistance

D. John Shaw

Chapter 6 in The World’s Largest Humanitarian Agency, 2011, pp 262-314 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The WFP’s Strategic Plan (2008—extended to 2013): marks a historical shift from WFP as a food aid agency to WFP as a food assistance agency, with a more nuanced and robust set of tools to respond to critical hunger needs. Its overarching goal is to reduce dependency and to support governmental efforts to ensure long term solutions to the hunger challenge. The global context in which WFP operates is rapidly changing… Deploying WFP most effectively within this broader global context is what the Strategic Plan is all about. (WFP, 2008k: 3)
