The World Food Programme during the Global Food Crisis (A)
By: Anette Mikes, Peter Tufano, Eric D. Werker and Jan-Emmanuel De Neve
Abstract
Rising food prices threatened an unprecedented number of people around the world with malnutrition or starvation in 2008. The new Executive Director of the United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP)—the world's largest food relief agency—must not only address this challenge but also must rethink the WFP's strategy in the rapidly changing world of humanitarian assistance.
