The World Food Programme (WFP) is intensifying efforts to address food insecurity in Ethiopia’s Somali region, focusing on crisis-affected populations through targeted food and cash assistance.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that the most vulnerable communities have immediate and equitable access to nutritious food, particularly in the face of ongoing shocks and emergencies.
The intervention is centered around enhancing food security by delivering both direct food aid and cash-based transfers. These resources are designed to be nutrition-sensitive, helping families not only meet their immediate food needs but also maintain adequate nutritional standards. The program recognizes the urgency of responding before, during, and after crises, aiming to reduce the long-term impacts of food insecurity on affected communities.
A key component of this initiative is strengthening coordination among various stakeholders to improve the overall effectiveness and accountability of emergency responses. WFP is working closely with national systems, including social protection programs, to ensure that support reaches those who need it most and that it is delivered in a way that upholds dignity and fairness.
By improving the capacity of emergency response systems and integrating them with national structures, the program contributes to building long-term resilience in the Somali region. It reflects WFP’s commitment to not only meeting urgent humanitarian needs but also supporting the foundations of sustainable food security in Ethiopia.
