ABOUT WFP
The World Food Program ( PAM ) is the largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger in the world. WFP works for a world where every man, woman and child has permanent access to enough food to lead a healthy and active life.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
The inhabitants of the three eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo ( DRC ) – Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu – face extreme needs due to armed conflicts, population displacement, natural disasters and chronic poverty. Their situation has worsened considerably in recent months, due to the escalation of violence between non-state armed groups and the large-scale displacement of local populations ( at present, 5.7 million people were driven from their homes in the three provinces ).
6.7 million people are in crisis and emergency situations of acute food insecurity in the three provinces ( 34% of the population ).
The declaration of the overall intensification of WFP operations will provide additional capacity to reach those in camps and temporary shelters who have arrived with nothing and who desperately need a vital help.
