Note: Some operations have negative 2007 shortfalls which have been
zeroed out. Therefore total resources mobilized and total shortfalls are not equal
to total resources to raise. Also, when a project has closed, any shortfall is zeroed out.
zeroed out. Therefore total resources mobilized and total shortfalls are not equal
to total resources to raise. Also, when a project has closed, any shortfall is zeroed out.
Therefore, taking into account resources already mobilized (including carryover stocks), as well as an estimated US$800 million pre-positioning to ensure smooth delivery into the new year, the organization currently needs to mobilize just below US$1.3 billion.
Contributions to WFP: a year-end summary
At the end of 2007, WFP wishes to thank all of its donors for their generosity. This year’s donations as of December 18th amount to US$2.56 billion, and have allowed WFP to bring assistance to millions of beneficiaries through over 200 projects.
