À PROPOS DU PAM
Le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) des Nations unies est la plus grande agence humanitaire du monde qui lutte contre la faim dans le monde.

Le PAM soutient depuis 2018 des interventions en faveur des moyens de subsistance dans le nord-est du Nigéria, le long des États de BAY. Les activités de renforcement des moyens de subsistance et de la résilience constituent l’axe principal de l’OS2 du Plan stratégique de pays (PSP), dont l’objectif est d’aider les populations vulnérables des zones ciblées à devenir plus résilientes aux chocs et à être en mesure de satisfaire leurs besoins alimentaires de base tout au long de l’année. Dans le cadre du SO2, le PAM soutient le redressement rapide et le renforcement de la résilience par la création et la préservation d’actifs alimentaires, l’augmentation des possibilités de subsistance et le renforcement des chaînes de valeur agricoles. Cet objectif est atteint par le biais de trois modalités différentes : (i) l’aide alimentaire en nature, (ii) les transferts en espèces et (iii) le renforcement des capacités par le transfert d’actifs et de ressources aux populations touchées.
