The World Food Programme (WFP) is among the first on the scene in an emergency, providing food and other assistance to people affected by conflict, drought, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and crop failures, as well as pandemics such as COVID-19. At the same time, we keep a sharp focus on sustainable development, providing governments with the support and skills to manage food security in the long term. We reached 152 million people with food, cash and commodity vouchers in 2023, with a presence in over 120 countries and territories. WFP aims to reach the same number in 2024.
It's not just about acquiring technical skills; it's about fostering critical thinking, creativity, and resilience. It's about nurturing a love for lifelong learning, encouraging young individuals to constantly evolve and adapt. Through the power of education, we can ignite the spark of curiosity that drives innovation and change in the world.
