Security & Access
FAO and IFAD staff can use the street-side and inner turnstiles with their own organizational badge. Please also advise [email protected] of your attendance.
All other participants should send a scanned copy of their photo ID to [email protected], by 25 June please, along with the dates of their participation in the meeting. On arrival at WFP, enter through the glass doors marked Visitor’s Entrance, show your photo ID at the Security window, and Security will issue you a visitor’s pass valid for the duration of stay you have indicated.
If issued with a one-day pass, you will need to leave your photo ID at Security and pick it up at the end of the day. If issued with a multi-day pass, you will not need to leave your photo ID at Security but you should have it with you at all times.
There may be a queue, so please allow additional time for admission.
Once you have your pass, register the serial number of your computer in the logbook, proceed through screening and baggage check, and use your pass to enter through the inner turnstiles.
After the first day on a multi-day pass, you should continue to use the Visitors’ Entrance but can proceed directly to baggage check without stopping at the Security windows.
Please make sure you return your pass to the Visitor’s Office and that you check out your computer at the end of your stay.
Luggage room: If coming to WFP directly from the airport, or going directly to the airport from WFP, you can ask Security for access to the luggage room, just outside the Visitor’s Office and before the inner turnstile. Please note the luggage room is not under Security surveillance so personal property left is the individual’s responsibility.

For a taxi from WFP, Security staff at the Visitor’s Office can assist you and taxis generally arrive within 5 minutes.
