Description:
February 2026 - Food insecurity remains at alarming level in many countries, driven by conflicts, climate change, and economic shocks. The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger.

WFP also provides common services to humanitarian agencies by transporting humanitarian workers and light cargo and conducting emergency medical and security evacuations.

This project operates in multiple countries, including Bangladesh, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Mali, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen and Globally.
