Summary
In 2023, WFP reached more than 54,000 people in addressing their food and nutrition needs and strengthening resilience against climate shocks. WFP supported the Government in enhancing its emergency preparedness and response systems and shock-responsive social protection programmes, primarily by providing systems-oriented capacity strengthening support. In parallel, WFP augmented 12 government emergency response operations with logistics and emergency telecommunications support, to ensure that crisis-affected populations could meet their immediate humanitarian needs. This entailed mobilizing 363 trucks to transport government relief items, including family food packs and non-food items, that reached more than 2.8 million people across the country. In April 2023, WFP launched the Multi-Hazard Impact-based Forecasting and Early Warning System to institutionalize an anticipatory action (AA) approach in the Philippines. Together with other UN agencies, WFP continued to enhance the AA programme's design and implementation to support the most at-risk populations before the forecasted landfall of typhoons. This year, WFP supported the Government with the implementation of two national priority initiatives, by: co-designing Walang Gutom (No Hunger) 2027: Government Food e-Voucher, a social protection programme that aims to reach more than 1 million food-poor households with local, nutritious food until 2027; and enhancing the national School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) by integrating a home-grown school feeding (HGSF) approach.
