World Food Programme (WFP) - Indonesia

World Food Programme, Since 1998, WFP has supported more than 20 million food-insecure Indonesians, primarily in the aftermath of natural disasters and economic shocks.

Under the current Protracted Relief and Rehabilitation Operation (PRRO), which ends in December 2011, WFP addresses micronutrient deficiencies through fortified food intervention targeting children aged 12-59 months, pregnant and breast-feeding women and primary school children. School activities include hand-washing campaigns, dietary diversity awareness, school gardens and de-worming. The operation is focused on rural and suburban areas of NTT, NTB, East Java and Greater Jakarta.

WFP supports the Government’s commitment to achieving food and nutrition security for all Indonesians. The three objectives are to enhance Indonesia’s capacities in –
•Monitoring, analyzing, mapping and addressing food insecurity
•Disaster preparedness and response in line with the Hyogo Framework for Action
•Reducing under-nutrition to below critical levels
