WFP plays a key role in providing vital food assistance to approximately 300,644 refugees, migrants and severely food insecure individuals in Ecuador. Cash transfers from border areas to urban centres and remote regions with high rates of malnutrition and poverty are used to reach people in vulnerable situations.
In addition, WFP implements communication strategies to improve knowledge about food security and nutrition. Priority is given to pregnant and lactating women, as well as children under two years of age, in an approach aimed at complementing local social protection systems.

WFP works closely with the Ecuadorian government to combat malnutrition by adopting a nutrition-sensitive social protection approach to policies and programmes. To support these actions, WFP conducts research, generates evidence and implements innovative initiatives, such as decentralised school feeding models. These measures actively involve smallholder farmers in the production of fresh and healthy food, with the aim of preventing and reducing chronic undernutrition in children.
In addition, WFP promotes edu-communication activities to promote healthy eating habits, taking into account gender and nutrition aspects. It also ensures that communities in vulnerable situations have access to the knowledge and resources needed to improve their nutritional status.

WFP is actively working with the government to develop a sustainable and healthy food system, while strengthening resilience to the impacts of climate change. In this regard, WFP is implementing innovative initiatives, such as rice-duck cultivation and the use of community and ecosystem-based adaptation measures, which are considered nature-based solutions. These transformative approaches also take into account gender and nutrition aspects, with the aim of strengthening the livelihoods of communities and family farmers.
WFP is committed to supporting national and local institutions in the fight against food insecurity, malnutrition and emergencies. This involves strengthening social protection systems through promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing, as well as disseminating research and promoting South-South cooperation to find effective solutions.
In addition, through supply chain operations, the WFP implements activities such as capacity needs mapping, preparedness workshops and simulation exercises, with the objective of strengthening logistics capacity. These actions identify technical gaps and the logistics group develops mitigation measures, finding sustainable solutions to improve the logistics capacities of national actors.
