WFP
ROME - The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is activating its revamped approach to operations in Ethiopia, a major step which will start to reach 3.2 million people with food assistance for the first time since June 2023. WFP food aid was suspended nationwide following reports of large-scale diversions earlier this year.
This is the culmination of a complete evaluation and reset of WFP operations in Ethiopia focused on transparency, evidence, and operational independence. WFP's new approach is underpinned by a robust set of safeguards and controls that have been extensively tested. These include:
- Using clear criteria to identify and digitally register the most vulnerable households and people;
- Working with local communities to verify those in greatest need;
- Reinforced commodity tracking
