The aid agency, teamed up with the government of Pakistan, is leading a pilot UN development program to help the country for better disaster management and to improve the handling of food insecurity. “WFP has a leading role working closely with the government at national, provincial, and district level to improve their own capacity to handle the disasters,†Herbinger said.
Pakistan has been on a good track of development but since 2003 the food insecurity has deteriorated due to natural calamities, global food price hiking and militancy conflicts, he said, so WFP set a program for next two years, until the end of 2012.
