Role of World Food Programme (WFP) on Combating Food Crisis in Yemen from 2015 to 2019

Abstract

This paper argues that the World Food Programme (WFP) plays a significant role in combating the crisis in Yemen as one of the Islamic countries that recently considered the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. However, there haven’t been many researchers who specifically explore how WFP, an international organization that works for combating the food crisis, implements itself and its programs to solve Yemen’s problem. To clearly explain this gap, the concept of implementation of international organization will be applied to see how WFP implements its program to Yemen both by managerial and enforcement approach. While referring to several WFP reports and other research publications, the qualitative descriptive method will be used to describe the subject and object of the research paper. It is found that the World Food Programme (WFP) has successfully contributed to the decline of the food crisis in Yemen from 2015 to 2019. Its aid and funding program partnered with several international organizations could save a large number of Yemenis who are trapped in long-lasting crises and conflict.
