Food for Assets (FFA) programmes form one of WFP’s largest areas of investment over time. Measured by food tonnage, and level of direct expenses between 2006-10, FFA programmes were the second largest of WFP’s food distribution modalities, after General Food Distribution.
WFP considers FFA programmes to have the potential to generate significant impact in terms of food security, temporary employment creation and short term increases in participant’s incomes through the provision of money or food in return for short term and often seasonal employment on labour intensive projects such as road building.
A recent review of all WFP evaluations conducted in the past 5 years found that environmental impacts and sustainability has not received sufficient attention in WFP’s planning, monitoring or evaluations. The SOFA report called for further analysis of the relative merits of food-based and cash-based initiatives, and how FFA affects households facing severe labor constraints.
