The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.

The Food Security Cluster (FSC) is committed to saving lives through the coordination of the food security response in major emergencies. Effective coordination is only possible through close cooperation with partner organizations. The FSC provides guidance at the country level that supports a broad base and timely response. The FSC works with national cluster systems in both sudden-onset disasters, whether they result from natural or human causes, and protracted crises. It is co-chaired between the WFP and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and includes 70 Global partners active in 33 countries around the world.
