Republic is an upper-middle-income country, ranking 82 out of 193 countries in the 2023-24 Human Development Index.  </p> <p>Over the past decade, the country has experienced sustained economic growth and stability – but inequalities persist. <strong>Poverty affects nearly a quarter of the population </strong>and extreme poverty affects almost 3 percent. Most low-income families live in urban areas, with 63 percent headed by women.  </p> <p>Inequalities drive food insecurity, with restricted purchasing power among vulnerable groups, limited coverage of basic services and safety nets, inadequate regulation of markets and recurrent shocks. Additionally, <strong>undernutrition and overweight/obesity – known as the double burden of malnutrition – cost the country 2.6 percent of its GDP.</strong></p> <p>The Dominican Republic is one of the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.<strong> Floods, droughts and other disasters cost lives, livelihoods and government finances</strong>, and seriously threaten sustainable development. Women and girls are particularly vulnerable due to gender inequalities. </p> <p>Food insecurity affects an estimated 14 percent of the population and is concentrated in poorer and more vulnerable parts of the country, including rural and disaster-prone areas, and among vulnerable groups such as woman-headed households. In addition, insufficient economic access to nutritious foods and diverse diets, especially among boys, girls, adolescents and women, contributes to anaemia, overweight and obesity.<strong> One out of three households lacks access to a nutritious diet. </strong></p> <p>The World Food Programme has been in the Dominican Republic since 1969. We support the country’s efforts to achieve zero hunger by <strong>providing food assistance, tackling malnutrition and strengthening capacity. </strong>We also focus on crisis response and preparedness.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="columns__side"> </div> </div> <div class="field field--field-paragraphs"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type-page-accordion paragraph--view-mode-full mv4 mv5-lg clearfix"> <h2 class="page-stripe__title wfp-wrapper">What the World Food Programme is doing in the Dominican Republic</h2> <section class="accordion wfp-wrapper js--accordion"> <dl class="accordion__items js--accordion__items"> <dt class="accordion__item-title active"> <div> <span>Crisis support</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel active"> <div class="accordion__item-content">We provide humanitarian assistance to food-insecure populations before, during and immediately after crises so that people can meet their food and other essential needs.
