US Government Scales up Support for WFP Disaster Preparedness in the Philippines

PRESS RELEASE Manila, Philippines – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) received a US$3.75 million (approximately Php 160 million) grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which will be used to expand WFP’s disaster preparedness and response programme in the Philippines. Working in close partnership with the central government and the Office of Civil Defense, WFP and local government units in four disaster-prone provinces of Sorsogon, Benguet, Cagayan and Laguna have been rolling out a disaster preparedness and response pilot programme focused on building local emergency management capacity, disaster mitigation and protection of livelihoods. "The Philippines was among the world’s most disaster-affected countries in 2011 and WFP is doing its utmost to build resilience among vulnerable communities to allow them to better cope with natural disasters," said WFP Philippines Representative and Country Director Stephen Anderson. &q
