From 9 to 13 November 2015, a series of pictures from Pakistan were put on display at the World Food Programme (WFP) headquarters in Rome, Italy to depict Pakistan’s stories of success. The photo exhibition serves to showcase this strong partnership between WFP and Pakistan and demonstrates how this collaboration has made a difference in the lives of the vulnerable people in Pakistan.

The photos aim to show the viewer that Pakistan has not only demonstrated its resilience, but also made considerable progress towards economic development as well as peace and stability, and recorded improvements in its socio-economic indicators while simultaneously aligning itself with the global movements. Pakistan joined the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, signed up to the Zero Hunger Challenge and lately committed to the Sustainable Development Goal 2 to end hunger and poverty by 2030. The government’s partnership with WFP in Pakistan is critical in achieving these goals.

A press release shared at the inauguration details how Pakistan has shown an impressive example of quick recovery following recurrent natural and man made disasters. The catastrophic earthquake of 2005 and devastating 2010 floods caused considerable damage across the country and have been followed by smaller disasters.
