2021–2022 Overview of WFP’s Initiatives on South-South and Triangular Cooperation



This report presents a glimpse of the World Food Programme’s (WFP) global work as a South-South and triangular cooperation broker to support countries in the achievement of SDG 2 on Zero Hunger. Across the countries where WFP operates, 345 million people are currently estimated to be acutely food insecure or at high risk given this unprecedented global food crisis. SSTC is one of the key avenues to bring more partners from the Global South on board to support the leap forward toward the achievement of the ambitious goals set in the 2030 Agenda.

In response to rising country demands, WFP has been stepping up its efforts to support countries tap into SSTC in 2021 and 2022, as consolidated in the overview. In 2021, WFP has been recognized among the United Nations entities that have made the most progress towards mainstreaming SSTC, reaching 1.11 million people and mobilizing US$2.7 million for SSTC field projects.

Some key SSTC initiatives in 2021-2022 that you will find in the report include:
