World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life – from the womb to two years of age – can lead to irreversible damage to children’s minds and bodies. The World Food Programme in Asia is targeting its food assistance to make sure that children and adults get the right food, at the right time, in the right place.

The project is consistent with WFP’s mission and policy for supplementary feeding (see WFP policy paper “Reaching mothers and children at critical times of their lives”, (WFP/EB.3/97/3-B))and the project’s performance is relatively consistent with its objectives.
