The World Food Programme (WFP) organised a Food Aid Forum from 6-8 June 2006 in Khartoum, as part of an ongoing process to develop the long-term strategy of WFP in Sudan. In support of the Forum, a series of Expert Opinion papers have been prepared by a wide range of partners on various aspects on food security strategies and their implications for WFP programmes in Sudan. In line with the objectives of the Forum, these papers helped inform a strategic framework offering direction to WFP Sudan through 2011.
