Ethiopia : Looking Forward to Tomorrow Thanks to WFP Vouchers in Urban HIV/AIDS Programme

Last year, WFP introduced vouchers into its urban HIV/AIDS programme in Ethiopia on a pilot basis, in place of traditional food assistance.

Overview

WFP’s guiding principle in Ethiopia is to support government programmes addressing hunger by using food assistance where it adds value, and by enhancing the capacity to implement hunger solutions. WFP Ethiopia conducts several initiatives to meet this end, including the National Relief Programme, the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), Targeted Supplementary Feeding, the HIV/AIDS Programme, the Purchase for Progress Programme (P4P), Food for Education, MERET (Managing Environmental Resources to Enable Transition), Food Assistance to Refugees and the use of Cash and Vouchers in its operations.
