Throughout the year, WFP China’s focus on planning and coordination has paved the way for new and multifaceted engagements and partnership building. Through innovative and smallscaled poverty alleviation pilot projects in China, WFP China is working closely with the Chinese Government to help eliminate the last pockets of food insecurity. Two projects were formulated in consultation with the Government at the national and local level including a smallholder farmer value chain pilot project in Anhui Province and a pre-school nutrition improvement project, which will be operationalized in Hunan Province at the beginning of 2018. : South-South Cooperation has become a critical tool to boost international dialogue and cooperation towards the realization of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. WFP China’s new Centre of Excellence (COE) for Rural Transformation is actively engaging in South-South Cooperation by sharing China’s rich experience in food security, nutrition improvement and poverty reduction. Based on extensive demand-driven consultation with relevant stakeholders, WFP China and the Ministry of Agriculture have identified four thematic areas to be pursued. The Government’s contribution to WFP increased four-fold from 2016 to 2017 from USD 18.5 to USD 73.6 million. The contribution will be used to provide food assistance through WFP offices in more than 19 countries globally
