COUNTRY STRATEGY:
WFP activities in the Philippines focus on assisting vulnerable populations affected by armed conflict and natural disasters in Visayas and Mindanao through general food distribution, food assistance for assets and training, school meals, and supplementary feeding. The current PRRO provides assistance to 1.4 million people affected by protracted conflict in Central Mindanao as well as disaster-affected communities in Central Visayas and Eastern Mindanao. As the Philippines is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, WFP is also helping the Government strengthen its disaster preparedness and response capacities. WFP reestablished its presence in the Philippines in 2006 to support the ongoing Mindanao Peace Process and to help build community resilience to armed conflict, which undermines food security.
