WFP Rwanda helps the government enhance the national capacity to manage and innovate, but also to tackle more immediate humanitarian needs and provides a path to self-reliance, ensuring no one is left behind while facilitating national ownership. WFP is increasingly transitioning from humanitarian action into development and humanitarian nexus efforts to create links and make a greater impact.
The primary mission of the Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping (VAM) unit is to identify food insecure populations and their needs, provide early warning, and generate information/knowledgebase to guide in the formulation of durable and better-targeted food security and livelihood solutions.
