2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. The World Food Programme was created in 1961, as an experiment to provide food aid through the UN system.

The UN World Food Programme delivers food and lifesaving support in crises and helps communities scale up solutions to hunger and malnutrition. In 1965, WFP became a fully-fledged UN programme, to last for “as long as multilateral food aid is found feasible and desirable”. In a world of plenty, where enough food is produced to feed everyone on the planet, hunger should be a thing of the past. However, conflict, climate change, disasters, inequality and – most recently – the pandemic, mean one in nine people globally is still going to bed hungry and famine looms for millions. Powered by the passion, dedication and professionalism of our 20,000 staff worldwide, the World Food Programme (WFP) works in over 120 countries and territories to bring life-saving food to people displaced by conflict and made destitute by disasters, and help individuals and communities find life-changing solutions to the multiple challenges they face in building better futures. We work to enhance nutrition in women and children, support smallholder farmers in improving productivity and reducing losses, help countries and communities prepare for and cope with climate-related shocks, and boost human capital through school feeding programmes. In conflict situations, we bring relief to exhausted populations and use food assistance to build pathways to peace and stability – work for which WFP was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020.

In Yemen, escalating conflict is forcing thousands of families like Hassan’s to flee with little more than they can carry.

WFP is delivering emergency food assistance, and is preparing to assist an additional 1.5 million people if the conflict intensifies. But needs are immense.

Urgent funding and safe, sustained humanitarian access are critical to reach families in need.

📍Dry land and failing crops are already putting families' food security and livelihoods at risk in Honduras.

As El Niño impacts communities across Central America, WFP is helping families stay ahead of the crisis, using climate financing, anticipatory action and cash assistance to protect food security before conditions worsen.

Acting early helps communities prepare for shocks, protect livelihoods and reduce the impact of future crises.

WFP's Lena Savelli explains how WFP is supporting vulnerable families before the crisis deepens.

Hunger is not just a humanitarian issue. It is a threat to stability, prosperity, and peace.

If we want a more peaceful and prosperous world, food security must be part of the solution.

No nation can thrive if its people are hungry.
