To deliver life-saving emergency food assistance to flood-affected people in pakistan

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration awarded $1.0 million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) under the Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for South Asia (CFDA 19.523) on September 13, 2025, with a completion date of March 12, 2026. This project grant funds the delivery of life-saving emergency food assistance to flood-affected populations in Pakistan. The award supports WFP's core humanitarian mandate to address food insecurity and hunger among vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters, consistent with the program's objective of ensuring access to life-sustaining resources that meet internationally accepted standards of care.

As a specialized humanitarian organization with extensive experience delivering emergency assistance across more than 60 countries, WFP will utilize the funding to provide emergency food distributions and related nutritional support services to affected communities. This award aligns with the Bureau's broader support for humanitarian assistance and protection activities in South Asia, particularly for vulnerable populations impacted by complex emergencies and natural disasters.
