ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

In Cameroon, the WFP Cameroon Country Strategic Plan [CSP] (2018 – 2021 endeavors to ensure that targeted food-insecure and vulnerable populations benefit from more sustainable and inclusive food systems and increased resilience to shocks to meet their food and nutrition needs.
