This case study reviews the World Food Programme’s (WFP) support to social protection in Ecuador over the past decade. It assesses how WFP has supported the strengthening of Ecuador’s national social protection system, with a particular focus on non-contributory social assistance which aims to assist the poorest in Ecuador. This is a light-touch exercise, undertaken through a rapid literature review and interviews with four current WFP staff. It is part of a suite of country case studies undertaken by researchers at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) for WFP, creating a portfolio of learning on WFP’s work on enabling social protection around the world.
