Project Objectives
In April 2015, WFP launched the PRRO 200743, building upon the previous PRRO, to enhance the resilience of vulnerable populations through a range of market-sensitive food assistance interventions. The previous PRRO featured capacity augmentation and policy development components to optimise the disaster response structures and policy frameworks of the Government of the Philippines in support of the Philippine Development Plan( 2011-2016). As the Philippines consistently ranks high among the most disaster-prone countries in the world, a strategic and proactive approach to building resilience is crucial to mitigate the negative impacts of hazards and enable the swift return to socioeconomic vitality following disasters.
The main objectives of the operation were to:
1. Meet the food security and nutrition needs of women, men, girls, and boys affected by conflict and natural disasters in Mindanao;
2. Enhance government and community disaster preparedness and response systems at the national and some sub-national levels to ensure timely responses to natural disasters;
3. Advise government departments on the development of gender-responsive food security and nutrition policies; and
4. Provide life-saving food assistance in response to disasters.
This PRRO complemented special operation 200706, which aimed to enhance the disaster preparedness and response capabilities of the Government. It also supported the ongoing programme of the Government in Central Mindanao to promote peacebuilding, reconstruction, and development in conflict-affected areas. This operation contributed to achieving WFP Strategic Objective 1: save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies; 2: support or restore food security and nutrition and establish or rebuild livelihoods in fragile settings and following emergencies; 3: reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and nutrition needs; and to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1: no poverty, 2: zero hunger, and 17: partnerships for the goals.
