ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT:

 

 

The WFP 2017-2021 Strategic Plan emphasizes the centrality of working in partnership to eliminate all forms of malnutrition. Malnutrition has an immense impact on human development, contributing to the persistence of poverty and inequality through the intergenerational cycle of hunger. Building on the WFP Strategic Plan, the new WFP Nutrition Policy approved by the board in 2017 provides a guiding framework to support governments in making advances in the reduction of malnutrition.

 

In the upcoming years, WFP will continue to foster synergies with actors that have complementary mandates, skills, and resources, such as the private sector. This is reflected in the Private Sector Partnership division’s focus on finding shared value between WFP, the Government’s it supports and the Private Sector.
