WFP

Mandate: Combat hunger and malnutrition, providing food assistance to over 100 million people in 88 countries.

Procurement: Approximately USD 4.5 billion annually, with a strong emphasis on local sourcing.

WFP provides support through food and different services. Every year, the organization procures products and services, most often from local sources, for 4.5 billion USD. The choice to source local even during crises is since the organization in that way supports local economies. To ensure the supply, experts at WFP create sourcing strategies for the following 12 months.

The procured goods are mainly foodstuffs, such as:

• Creales
• Pulses
• Specialized nutritious foods. To deliver these products, WFP also needs to procure supplemental goods and services, such as:
• Fuel
• Vehicles
• Spare parts
• ICT equipment
• Services
• Infrastructure
• Storage
• Insurance
