IPHD (International Partnership for Human Development) was founded in October 1983, and since then it has worked in over 20 countries.  Between 1983 and 2007, IPHD provided over $350 million in food aid, project grants, monetization funds, in-kind donations, including medicines, clothing and equipment, and ocean freight.  Over 450,000 tons of donated foods were distributed.  The food aid program is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

IPHD programs have benefitted over fifteen million poor and needy people, most of whom are women and children.  Its largest programs have been in Mexico and Moldova.  Between 1983 and 1993, IPHD provided supplementary food to one million Mexicans monthly, mainly the rural poor.  Food and other aid to Mexico in those years reached $106.2 million.  Since 1995, IPHD has reached over one million people in Moldova with food, medical aid, project grants, and supplies of fuel during the winter months.  Among other countries benefitting from IPHD were: Equatorial Guinea, Romania, Guinea Republic, Congo Republic, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Bosnia, East Timor, Guinea-Bissau, Brazil, Central African Republic, Nigeria and Tanzania.
