		WFP food aid is provided primarily to least developed and low-income, food-deficit countries and according to Catherine Bertini, WFP Executive Director, focuses mainly on the most vulnerable members of society - women, children and the elderly.
		WFP is the UN's largest supporter of development projects involving and benefiting poor women; the largest provider of grant assistance for environmental protection and improvement; and the largest purchaser of food and services in developing countries and, thus, the major supporter of South-South trade.
