Mission and objectives

Le Programme Alimentaire Mondial (PAM) est la première organisation humanitaire mondiale de lutte contre la faim, fournissant une aide alimentaire dans les situations d'urgence et travaillant avec les communautés pour améliorer la nutrition et renforcer la résilience.

Alors que la communauté internationale s'est engagée à éradiquer la faim, à assurer la sécurité alimentaire et à améliorer la nutrition d'ici 2030, une personne sur neuf dans le monde ne mange toujours pas à sa faim. L'aide alimentaire et liée à l'alimentation est au cœur de la lutte pour briser le cycle de la faim et de la pauvreté.

Pour ses efforts de lutte contre la faim, pour sa contribution à l’amélioration des conditions de paix dans les zones touchées par les conflits et pour avoir joué un rôle moteur dans les efforts visant à empêcher l’utilisation de la faim comme arme de guerre, le PAM a reçu le prix Nobel de la paix en 2020.
