World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Program WFP Indonesia tahun 2012 – 2015 merefleksikan transformasi Indonesia yang dinamis dari status negara berpenghasilan rendah ke berpenghasilan menengah dengan memastikan kelompok masyarakat rentan dapat melepaskan diri dari lingkaran kelaparan dan kekurangan gizi seiring kemajuan ekonomi bangsa. Program WFP Indonesia juga merefleksikan bergesernya peran WFP dari hubungan langsung operasional ke arah pengembangan kapasitas pemerintah dan masyarakat dalam menghadapi tantangan – tantangan ketahanan pangan dan gizi. WFP mendukung pemerintah dalam meningkatkan kapasitasnya menangani daearh rentan pangan dan gizi serta dalam kesiapsiagaan bencana melalui bantuan teknis, proyek – proyek percontohan serta dukungan kebijakan.

The new WFP’s Country Programme 2012-2015 reflects Indonesia’s dynamic transfor-mation from low income to middle income status and challenges of ensuring that the poorest and most vulnerable people escape the cycle of hunger and under-nutrition as the country progresses economically.

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.

In Indonesia, a low-income food-deficit country, more than 100 million people live near or below the poverty line. There are numerous slums; many rural areas lack basic infrastructure; high levels of chronic malnutrition persist. WFP’s realistic appraisal of where its impact will be greatest led to an increasing focus on nutritional interventions, especially for mothers and children, combined with innovative approaches to influencing Government policy through sophisticated and robust food security and nutrition mapping. WFP also plays a central role in anticipating and responding to natural disasters.
