TARGETING THE HUNGRY POOR

When WFP draws up its emergency and development operations in any country, its first priority is always to identify the hungry poor: who is vulnerable, where do they live and why are they going hungry.

Vulnerability Analysis & Mapping, or VAM for short, delivers the information which not only allows the Agency to target the right people in the right place at the right time, but also to answer the key question for the world's biggest food aid organisation: how can food aid make a difference?
