In this holiday season, WFP West Africa stands in #solidarity with Cameroonian refugees fleeing inter-communal violence into #Chad. Failed rains triggering competition for resources, are at the root of this inter-communal conflict. The solutions are in more resilient communities.

#DidYouKnow People who have benefited from World Food Programme's integrated package of activities are better protected against natural disasters and the effects of the #ClimateCrisis. They benefit from regeneration – turning degraded & barren lands into fertile soil. #resilience

In #Benin, the Gov-led, Gov-funded, World Food Programme-supported school meals programme is helping to strengthen the economy and create new jobs through local food procurement and capacity building of smallholders. Join us in writing a success story in Benin and expanding it beyond borders.

Let’s remember the far reaching benefits of school meal programs. From increasing school enrolment rates to strengthening local #foodsystems, by linking to local producers, school feeding programs are about more than providing meals. #ADSF bit.ly/3hy6ggM

In #Senegal🇸🇳 #WFP introduced the semi-circular structure of the half-moons to rehabilitate 24 hectare of unexploited and degraded land. It helps to capture rainfall, reduce erosion, and improve soil moisture and fertility. #Dakar2022 #WorldWaterForum9 👉🏽bit.ly/3iozOxJ

The number of people facing acute food insecurity and requiring urgent life-saving food assistance and livelihood support continues to grow at an alarming rate. Join us, today, for the release of the 2022 Global Report on Food Crises. WFP West Africa

The 2022 Global report on food crises is out. Acute hunger is on the rise. We need to join forces and tackle the root causes of food crises. wfp.org/news/global-re…

Hunger has a geographic and physical dimension that is often overlooked. Rural population’s livelihoods & wellbeing depend on the land they live and work on. Join us every day at #COP15 in #Abidjan for more insights on desertification, and large-scale solutions.

Food crisis is also impacting coastal countries in #WestAfrica. Impressed this week by communities’ efforts supported by World Food Programme, to become more resilient in #Labe as food insecurity in Guinea more than doubled since last year. Together we can achieve #ZeroHunger!

Witnessed impressive harvesting session in #Guinea yesterday. New rice variant from Korea piloted by a women’s group in the locality of Nienh with World Food Programme support showing great results! Growth is twice as fast, and yield is at least 5 times higher compared to the local variety.👍
