In February 2005, the World Food Program (WFP) launched an Emergency Operation initially aimed at preventing vulnerable populations from sliding into a crisis situation. Supporting Niger’s National Mechanism for the Prevention and Management of Food Crises (DNPGCA), WFP provided food aid in a variety of ways. This included take-home rations for the families of malnourished children undergoing treatment in therapeutic feeding centers; food for nomadic herders; and rations to support Food for Work activities.
In July, as the DNPGCA’s stocks of food and funding dwindled, WFP expanded its operations to provide free food to households severely impacted by malnutrition. Principal WFP food aid activities are outlined below. To date, WFP’s Emergency Operation has provided food for nearly 3 million people.
