Where
we work
The World Food Programme (WFP) works in more than 80 countries. We bring life-saving assistance in emergencies and support sustainable and resilient livelihoods to achieve a world with zero hunger.
In 2019, WFP assisted 97 million people - the largest number since 2012 - in 90 countries.
- 88 countries with WFP operations
- 8/10 major food crises are driven by conflict
- 77% WFP staff are recruited locally
We respond to emergencies
WFP is on the frontlines of multiple, simultaneous emergencies. To determine which ones require the most resources, we classify them in three levels, with Level 3 (L3) representing the highest needs.
Currently, the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic is classified as L3, as are the ongoing crises in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, northeast Nigeria, the Central Sahel, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
We save and change lives worldwide
As countries have less than 10 years to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals, WFP is working with governments, partners, communities and families to break persistent cycles of hunger and malnutrition, strengthen resilience to shocks, and build prosperous, sustainable futures.
