Foreword
Once again, our committed Environment Food items Programme (WFP)
Alumni have taken the time to share their daily life tales in this hottest Oral Historical past publication, “World Food Programme Cross-Border Functions: Particular Activities of Alumni.” Supplying foodstuff assistance in a single state is a challenging and intricate process. The complexity multiplies substantially when WFP is called on to assist throughout borders. Generally, individuals crossing borders do so at excellent personalized danger. In addition, the ability of recipient countries may be stretched beyond the capacity to provide satisfactory support.
This ebook gives perception to these difficulties through anecdotes ranging from cross-border foods guidance in Bosnia-Herzegovina to having food into Afghanistan from Pakistan. There are stories from South and Southeast Asia.
Other examples include things like transboundary assistance amongst Cyprus and Iraq, and among Namibia and Angola.
When I initially fulfilled the WFP Alumni Community, I was amazed with their accrued encounter and expertise in each sphere of our operate. I felt their enthusiasm for their function and in truth the compassion in their hearts. The Oral Background publications are an indispensable history of the spirit of the WFP loved ones and replicate WFP Alumni’s ongoing contribution to the group.
In this regard, I am grateful for the enduring assistance of WFP Alumni colleagues towards attaining Zero Hunger.
Very best needs,
David Beasley, Government Director
