As one of the Philippine Government’s longstanding
partners in emergencies, WFP was among the first to
support the Government to respond in the immediate
aftermath of the typhoons. This report provides a
comprehensive overview of how WFP worked with national
and local authorities and communities to augment the
Government-led response through damage and needs
assessments, cash assistance, logistics, and
telecommunications support.
Primarily through national social protection
programmes, WFP provided cash assistance for 151,350
people in five priority provinces: Albay, Aurora,
Cagayan, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes. With WFP’s
transport support, the Government provided close to
318,000 family food packs (FFPs) and non-food items to
1.6 million people to meet their food and other urgent
needs.
