  • (b) Dwight D. Eisenhower

The World Food Programme was created in 1961 as a direct result of a proposal put forward by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In an address to the United Nations General Assembly in 1960, Eisenhower advocated for the development of a practical, workable plan to transport food aid to UN member states, with the aim of ending the paradox of hunger in a world with food surpluses. The experiment was initially meant to last three years, but over the course of time, the WFP became a permanent UN agency in 1965.
