Going beyond Yolanda: Revolutionizing emergency response through family food packs

In the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda, the World Food Programme (WFP) partnered with the Philippine government to revolutionize emergency response through the mechanization of family food pack production. By establishing disaster resource centers and enhancing logistics capacity, WFP helped the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) preposition millions of food packs nationwide, enabling faster, more efficient disaster relief. This collaboration has since evolved to support social protection programs and build long-term resilience through training and infrastructure, ensuring timely aid delivery during crises.
