CONTEXT OF THE ORGANIZATION

WFP has a proven track record in Zimbabwe of providing food aid and managing supply chains during emergencies, all the while enhancing shock resilience in vulnerable areas. A roadmap is provided by the country strategic plan (CSP), which runs from July 2022 to December 2026, to encourage shock-responsive social protection and resilient, sustainable food systems.
