World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

The World Food Programme works with governments across Asia to design and manage large-scale, innovative programmes, focused on those who need them most. These programmes are often called ‘safety nets’ – projects designed to protect the most vulnerable at critical times, and so allow them to make the most of each new opportunity to improve their lives.

Bangladesh is one of the most at-risk countries to climate change and natural disasters. The poor are the hardest hit. The ER programme offers cash and food for work and training to women and men in vulnerable communities for the planning and building of community assets such as embankments, roads, and canals.
