WFP is in the midst of a crippling and historic funding crisis that is forcing the organization to scale back life-saving assistance at a time when acute hunger is at record levels. Total contributions in 2022: US$14.1 billion (a record). 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. 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. WFP reached 160 million people in 2022, with a presence in over 120 countries and territories.
We work in 123 countries and territories, combining emergency assistance with long-term development while adapting our activities to the context and challenges of each location and its people.
