FOOD SECURITY
Through the delivery of food and nutritional training,
RPX addresses emergency needs while promoting long-term
food security solutions.
RPX food aid is delivered to the most vulnerable
populations through partner organizations as a
supplement to existing resources and as an incentive to
participate in larger social programs. This approach
meets an emergency need while avoiding the potential
risks faced by other programs, such as disrupting local
markets, creating disincentives for local producers, or
creating long term donor dependence.
Nutritional training and emergency planning seek to
optimize the use of available resources through better
food selection and preparation, and help beneficiaries
recognize and respond to the early signs of poor
nutrition. Focusing on childhood nutrition, RPX promotes
positive dietary habits that last a lifetime.
