With support from this @WorldBankGroup-funded project, women are growing their own food, supporting their families, and stepping into leadership in their communities.
Listen to Hajer explain how:
In #Sudan, where millions of people are going hungry, this sorghum harvest brings hope for a future with a reliable, stable source of food.
And this is just the start.

🌟 Honored to host Stanlake Samkange in #Uganda.
🤝 Grateful for the fruitful meetings with @PRC_Amb_Uganda and @IsDB_RHKampala Regional Manager.
🌍 Strengthening partnerships for sustainable development!
We deeply appreciate the Austrian Development Agency @ADCinUganda and the people of Austria for their unwavering support for refugees in Uganda. Your partnership is crucial in helping us #SaveLives across various refugee settlements. Thank you!
Heavy rains⛈️ caused rivers to overflow in parts of Western Uganda in late August 2024. Within days, as part of our #AnticipatoryAction, WFP provided a one-off cash transfer to +5,000 affected people.
Today, Mia Beers, Deputy Assistant to the Administrator in the @USAID🇺🇸 Bureau for Resilience, Environment and Food Security is visiting farmers in #Uganda.
Together we are transforming the lives of farmers👩🌾 in #Karamoja#USWithUganda
“WFP linked me to mechanized tillage services🚜 which cut my costs by half. This motivated me to buy more land.”
Today, we were pleased to introduce Benson to Mia Beers and the @USAID🇺🇸Delegation. Our partnership in #Karamoja is creating long-lasting impact🧑🌾
#USWithUganda
➡️1.6 million refugees live in #Uganda in 2024
➡️This is up from about 4⃣0⃣0⃣,0⃣0⃣0⃣ in 2014.
➡️Refugee population has multiplied by 4 in the last decade in the country.
@meygag61 thanked Japan🇯🇵 for being a long-standing partner of WFP in Uganda and around the world🌍
We design our #refugee interventions with the needs of the host communities in mind to make sure they coexist peacefully in #Uganda@meygag61 speaking to #MorningAtNTV
#Uganda hosts the highest number of refugees in Africa. WFP is enabling refugees and the communities that host them to put food on the table through the #SelfRelianceModel#BuildSelfReliance
Interesting exchange with @WFP_uganda on sustainable solutions in the refugee response in Uganda incl. on transition to self-reliance💪 and clean energy alternatives 🌳 WFP is a longstanding and valued Danish partner🇩🇰🤝
Exciting news!
We have partnered with @WFP_Uganda on energising and decarbonising the school meals programme in Amudat and Kaabong districts in #Karamoja#CleanCooking for 74 schools with 42,000 learners 📚🫘 & 400,000 climate resilient trees planted 🌳
#DidYouKnow WFP is providing hot meals 🍲to newly arrived refugees in reception centres while they’re being settled. A critical intervention made possible thanks to partners like @NorwayUganda🇳🇴🙏
Cannot find a better moment than #InternationalEducationDay to announce a new partnership with @IcelandinUganda to green 🌳 ☀️schools📚📝 in Karamoja
Looking forward to our continued journey for children in #Uganda
Uganda’s refugee response is severely underfunded, forcing WFP to support only the most vulnerable with food assistance.
Without immediate intervention to help build sustainable, safe, and dignified livelihoods, 82% of #refugees are at risk of food and nutritional security.
