From harvest to preservation, skills matter. 🍅☀️ WFP training teaches youth sun-drying tomatoes and preserving produce, reducing waste while creating lasting products. These skills boost food availability and income opportunities, enhancing local food security and resilience.

Proud to see WFP’s special campaign playing across Scene Cinemas. Through powerful voices and real stories, the campaign shines a light on resilience, hope, and the impact of standing together.

Wheat is the backbone of Egypt’s food security — and smallholder farmers are at the center of it. Their work drives local production and strengthens community resilience. WFP supports efforts that help farmers improve yields, incomes, and long‑term food security. 🌾

[Rawad Halabi @WFP_Egypt]

With support from KOICA, WFP Egypt has trained over 14,000 refugees and host community members in vocational skills and supported more than 9,500 pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Investing in livelihoods and food security for stronger, more resilient communities.

With generous support from KOICA, WFP Egypt is advancing from relief to resilience.

The celebratory event brought partners together to highlight how food security, livelihoods, and community support go hand in hand to build lasting impact.

Today I joined the AmCham Education Conference to discuss how WFP’s school feeding programme in Egypt advances food security while improving access, inclusion, and learning readiness for vulnerable children—through strong government and private‑sector partnerships. @amcham_egypt

[Rawad Halabi @WFP_Egypt]

Food security means having reliable access to safe, nutritious food—every day, for every family. WFP works with communities to protect this right by supporting vulnerable households, strengthening food systems, and helping people build stability and resilience. 🌾💙

At the Netherlands–Egypt Agricultural Partnership Summit, WFP Egypt's Rossella Fanelli shared that 89% of WFP supported smallholder farming households are food secure. This demonstrates how access to inputs, climate-smart practices, and markets boost livelihoods. @agricultureagr

Today, I had the honor of meeting with media representatives to share key insights on food security challenges and WFP programmes in Egypt. We engaged in open dialogue on priorities and response efforts.

[Rawad Halabi @WFP_Egypt]

Pleased to have met with H.E. Sherif Farouk, Minister of Supply & Internal Trade @msitgovegypt to discuss how our valued partnership supports #Egypt’s national systems for food security & social protection, with a focus on improving digital systems & nutrition programmes.

[WFP in the Middle East & North Africa @WFP_MENA]

📚 Research proves that a well-fed child is a better learner.

@WFP has supported school feeding in #Egypt since the 1960s, helping address the root causes of food insecurity, malnutrition, and limited access to education.

[Rawad Halabi @WFP_Egypt]

Motherhood is tough for refugee moms. Pregnant and nursing women face challenges while striving for their children's healthy start. WFP aids these mothers with nutrition sessions and access to nourishing foods, securing brighter futures.

[Rawad Halabi @WFP_Egypt]

Rising regional tensions are impacting families beyond conflict zones — including in #Egypt. 92% of refugees are skipping meals or reducing portions to cope. For many, WFP food assistance is a lifeline. We must keep that lifeline strong. #WFP #HungerDoesNotPause #FoodSecurity

[Rawad Halabi @WFP_Egypt]

By aligning policy, enhancing joint programming, and exploring climate finance opportunities, @FAOEgypt, @IFAD, & WFP are paving a unified path. Stronger coordination among Rome-Based Agencies leads to greater impact for communities and food security. 🤝🌍
