The World Food Programme (WFP) aimed to provide food and nutrition assistance to 171.5 million people in 2023. Yet as many as 309 million people are facing acute levels of food insecurity in 2024, while up to 783 million people – one in ten of the world's population – still go to bed hungry each night.

National social protection systems reach billions of people across the globe. Investing in strengthening those systems can support millions of hungry and malnourished people, as well as those at risk of shocks and crisis whom we do not reach directly.

In 2022, WFP provided support to national social protection systems in 88 countries. This included primarily providing technical advice as well as delivering social protection programmes on behalf of governments, demonstrating the strong dual role of WFP in both saving and changing lives.

Helping governments to scale up and enhance social protection is a key pathway towards a zero-hunger world. WFP is working with governments and partners towards ensuring that, by 2030, people have substantially increased access to national social protection systems. These systems can safeguard and foster people’s ability to meet their food security, nutrition and other essential needs, and to manage the risks and shocks they face.

We support governments in designing and implementing inclusive social protection programmes, considering people’s needs and capacities, and their vulnerabilities and inequalities.

WFP has a long history of supporting the design and delivery of nationally led social protection, providing technical advice and implementing programmes on the behalf of governments. In addition, WFP’s own programmes are often complementary to national social protection objectives.  WFP offers expertise across all elements of policy and programme design and delivery.

Areas of work

System architecture: We support governments with the development and updating of social protection policies and strategies, integrating food security and nutrition objectives, and promoting strategies that enable social protection systems to better respond to risks and shocks. We create and manage digital platforms and databases for programme delivery and monitoring, while providing assistance in strategic planning, financing, and resource mobilization for sustainable social protection systems.
National social protection programming: WFP advises on aspects including eligibility criteria, transfer methods and complementary measures for better impact. WFP also advises on registration and enrolment processes, including data collection, targeting approaches and digitalization. The integration of accountability, protection and assurance considerations is emphasized, to ensure accessible, dignified and safe programmes that show accountability to stakeholders.
Social protection and humanitarian, development and peace efforts: WFP is committed to improving the effectiveness of social protection in the shared ‘nexus’ space among humanitarian, development and peace actors. WFP conducts context and risk analyses to inform programme design, especially in fragile and conflict-affected settings. This ensures that interventions are tailored to the context, and that the risks of unintentionally exacerbating conflict and other unintended negative impacts are identified and managed through effective mitigation measures.
Partnerships approach: WFP uses a partnership approach to support social protection. This includes joint programming with the SDG Fund and other UN entities. It also includes providing common platforms and services, such as the common cash platform, and supporting the development of integrated information systems that can improve efficiency and lower the transaction costs of multiple partners and sectors. We also mobilize innovating financing mechanisms – for example by linking disaster risk financing mechanisms with national social protection systems – to expand government resources. We further carry out joint needs and gaps analysis.
