SITUATION OVERVIEW
• WFP has been operating in Bangladesh since
1974. Despite impressive economic
progress, food insecurity remains a concern.
The IPC Acute Food Insecurity analysis of
April 2025 indicated that between May and
December 2025, 16 million people were
projected to face Crisis-level (IPC Phase 3) or
worse food insecurity, including 400,000
people - most of them Rohingya refugees -
who were in Emergency (IPC Phase 4).
• Bangladesh is extremely vulnerable to
natural hazards, with most of the population
residing in areas prone to floods and
cyclones. The 2022-2026 Country Strategic
Plan reinforces WFP’s commitment to
working with the Government to improve
the food security, nutrition, and resilience of
vulnerable communities, while also
providing emergency assistance to people
affected by emergencies.
• Since 2017, in response to the massive influx
of Rohingya people fleeing Myanmar, WFP
has been providing critical food, nutrition,
resilience, school feeding assistance to the
Rohingya population. WFP also supports
food insecure Bangladeshi host communities
in Cox’s Bazar through nutrition, school
feeding, livelihoods, and Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) interventions.
