World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

WFP assists African governments and communities to implement comprehensive, country-led, programmes to tackle hunger the world’s greatest solvable problem. In 2012, out of a total US$4.2 billion expenditure, two thirds (US$2.7 billion) was allocated to Africa. WFP is the world’s biggest buyer of food for humanitarian operations and it is the largest single purchaser of food assistance in Africa, but we do not work alone. This edition of WFP in Africa highlights our partnerships throughout the continent, illustrating the importance of working together to reach shared goals and objectives.

The Standard Project Report (SPR) is the principal means through which WFP informs how resources for a given project were used and what results were obtained during the reporting year.

SPRs are prepared for all of WFP activities (with the exception of bilateral project) namely development, protracted relief and recovery, emergency and special operations.
