The objective of this briefis to set outlinkages between food safety and the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs), to identify priority issues,and to suggest how investments in food safety can help attain SDGs.
In view of the ongoing political, peace and reconciliation, administrative and economic reforms as well as plans to establish the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) in 2018, WFP extended the current Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO 200299), launched in January 2...013, by two years to include 2016 and 2017, with approved budget USD 343 million.
