Honduras | World Food Programme

WFP continues to provide life-saving assistance and to complement the Government's response to unexpected and slow-onset disasters, by providing food assistance (cash-based transfers and in-kind) and strengthening supply chain management, emergency preparedness and response capacity. WFP helps the government to reinforce its emergency planning and preparedness capacity. WFP strengthens food logistics and coordination capacity, promoting a sustainable supply chain that will operate effectively in the aftermath of crises.

Through a food systems approach, WFP supports rural and urban households and communities by promoting capacity-strengthening initiatives such as training in entrepreneurship and vocational skills, especially in young people, to help diversify their income sources and acquire skills, financial services, and products they need to start and manage microbusinesses. WFP seeks to empower smallholder farmers, particularly women, and their organizations to achieve sustainable, climate-resilient livelihoods and to better manage crises, which in turn helps to discourage migration. WFP provides food and technical assistance to vulnerable urban populations. We also provide support to social protection systems and local actors, such as local governments and community-based organizations to promote employment- generation programmes and increase the incomes of vulnerable urban populations, thereby contributing to their food security and resilience to external shocks.

WFP supports the government’s national school meals programme, combining basic dry rations with complementary fresh rations that promote home-grown school feeding.

WFP supports the Government’s efforts to improve nutrition during the “first 1000 days” between conception and a child's second birthday, particularly through the prevention of stunting and micronutrient deficiencies. These efforts target children aged between 6 and 23 months, and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls, including Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. WFP assists adolescents and young people with rations, to prevent anaemia.

WFP provides services on cash transfers, and supply chain, logistics and procurement to government agencies, humanitarian network partners and other organizations, to increase their response capacity and enable them to better cover their operational needs for the benefit of vulnerable populations.

WFP provides services related to areas including cash transfers, logistics and procurement to government agencies, humanitarian network partners and other organizations.
