Cross-cutting Priority Areas

To support the achievement of the strategic outcomes, this strategic plan sets out seven cross-cutting priorities that constitute non-negotiable areas of focus for WFP programmes. These priorities are mandatory, and they embody WFP’s commitment to programme quality in all operational settings.

Corporate cross-cutting indicators assess progress in ensuring equitable participation, accountability and representation and respond to the question: Did WFP adhere to its commitments regarding cross-cutting priorities?

This section has 21 corporate cross-cutting indicators:
