WFP works with more than 2,830 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), over 90% of which are local NGOs/community-based organizations (CBOs), in carrying out its activities across the globe.
Following many decades of intense collaboration with NGOs, it is WFP's vision today to be the "best possible partner". WFP's Strategic Plan (2008-2011) clearly states that "partnerships are essential for WFP in order to accomplish its mission and achieve its objectives". NGOs are described as "instrumental in increasing WFP's global deep field presence" and "essential in both short-term and long-term responses to hunger". Particular emphasis has been given to the importance of national and local communities as key actors on the front line of hunger.
The latest Annual Report on WFP’s operational relationship with NGOs and the handbook “How to work with WFP” can both be found below.
The “How to work with WFP” handbook has been compiled to aid NGO partners in collaborating effectively with WFP. It is intended as a quick reference for all NGO partners engaged with WFP and its activities. The handbook draws on existing WFP policies & guidelines as well as specific samples from WFP country offices.
