A new tool in the fight against hunger was introduced in Mali early this year!
The Forward Purchase Facility is a tool that gives World Food Programme an advance so it can buy a specific amount of food and get it delivered to warehouses ah…ead of the lean season. It also gives WFP the lead-time required to purchase locally and, with food at-the-ready, the agency can practically start loading-up the trucks the moment a donation is confirmed.
