Objective:
Food Assistance
1. Improved access of food to vulnerable households.
With drought and the resulting food shortages exacerbating food insecurity within the region, World
Vision worked with World Food Programme, USAID, OFDA, ECHO, FAO, DFID and other agencies
to provide immediate food assistance to vulnerable households in the form of general food distribution,
direct cash transfer and food for work/food for assets. National Offices engaging in food programme
assistance worked closely with Food Programming and Management Group (FPMG) to access their
expertise and ensure quality programmes are designed and implemented to donor standards.
World Vision is utilizing the Last Mile Mobile Solutions (LMMS) to reduce costs and improve efficiency
in providing humanitarian aid. Since its deployment, the technology has improved food aid and cash
distribution, making it easier, faster and more dignified for communities in need. The LMMS developed
by World Vision, is a stand-alone digital system with functions including beneficiary registration,
verification, distribution planning and management, monitoring and reporting. It improves remote data
collection, helps manage aid recipients, enables faster and fairer aid distributions and delivers rapid
reporting to aid workers.
