The struggle is harder than before…
We all need to be more creative and efficient, considering all challenges and funding constraints.

Honoured to be speaking on behalf of @WFP at the launch of The State of Food Security & Nutrition in the World 2023. It shows many countries are confronting hunger and malnutrition crises at levels not seen for decades.

Yesterday, @WFP, in partnership with @Mglsd_UG, @OPMUganda & @UNHCRUganda, is scaling the Social Cash Transfer for Elderly Refugees in Oruchinga settlement, Isingiro district.

Refugees aged 80 & above will receive a monthly stipend, aligned to the national senior citizens grant, to support their food & other basic needs.

The programme is being scaled up to all 13 refugee settlements with support from @IrlEmbUganda & @EUinUG.

Uganda's outbreak is over. But its logistics hub remains critical for the DRC #Ebola response ✈️.

From @WFP's staging area at Entebbe International Airport, 1,004 mt of health cargo — PPE, medicines, hospital beds, water and sanitation supplies, treatment tents — has crossed into eastern DRC by air and road for 17 partners, including @AfricaCDC, UN agencies, the Red Cross and NGOs. WFP Uganda has also moved 5,562 mt of food into DRC.

36 C-130 rotations. 42 trucks.

In Kampala today, @WFP handed over Land Cruiser vehicles to @Mglsd_UG to strengthen the Expanding Social Protection Programme's Regional Technical Support Units.

Permanent Secretary Aggrey David Kibenge commended WFP's continued support, while Country Director @WanjaKaaria said the contribution will enhance the effective delivery of social protection programmes — advancing WFP's strategic plan to strengthen Uganda's systems through country-owned solutions.

In #Karamoja, we're scaling malnutrition prevention interventions — and, alongside @UNICEFUganda, @MinofHealthUG, local partners and communities, bringing life-saving treatment closer to families in Moroto, Kotido & Kaabong.

Made possible with support from the @OCHAFunds-managed Uganda Humanitarian Fund.

Last week, as the school term ended in #Karamoja, over 221,000 learners in 284 schools went home with a @WFP take-home food ration.

This support comes as drought has left more than 600,000 people—nearly half of Karamoja’s population—food insecure. These rations will help keep children nourished during the school break.

Made possible with support from @GovUganda, @OPMUganda and our partners:

Here are highlights from the recent IMPACT evaluation workshop with nine African governments on #SocialProtection & #SchoolMeals, co-organised by @WFP_Evaluation.

���🇸🇺🇬 Even as drought worsens across #Karamoja, gardens are still green at Pajar Primary School, Kaabong.

Today, the @IcelandinUganda delegation saw pupils tending budding gardens with drought-tolerant, iron-rich beans and vegetables under irrigation, hot meals cooked in fuel-efficient kitchens, & nutrition clubs where children take what they learn back to their communities.

This is all part of the @WFP school meals programme in partnership with @Educ_SportsUg & @OPMUganda, reaching 221,000 children across Karamoja, and supported by Iceland.

[WFP Uganda @WFP_Uganda]

Today at Entebbe cargo centre, a joint @StateDept-@CDCgov delegation saw the @WFP & @logcluster support to the Ebola response as critical cargo was loaded for onward movement to DRC, and received a briefing on the regional operation. With U.S. support, WFP is helping keep lifesaving supplies moving where they are needed most.

At the frontline of crisis, everything is connected.

In refugee settlements in #Uganda, @WFP is treating malnutrition while strengthening #Ebola prevention messaging. We work with partners to prevent the outbreaks from spreading while ensuring humanitarian work continues.

#Refugees #Nutrition

[WFP Uganda @WFP_Uganda]

In #Uganda’s Oruchinga settlement, refugees & host-community members invested in a thriving yoghurt & ice cream business with support from @WFP. Together, they are creating jobs, increasing incomes, & building self-reliance.

This is what unity & integration look like ⤵️.

Grateful to the Government and people of Japan 🇯🇵 for their continued support towards life‑saving treatment of acute malnutrition among refugees in #Uganda.

Your partnership is helping children and mothers recover, thrive, and look to the future with hope.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

1 in 6 people in #Lebanon have been displaced by conflict. Families have lost everything and needs are soaring by the hour.

@WFP has delivered 2 million hot meals in March alone — and is rapidly scaling up our assistance. We will keep delivering for those who need us most.

[WFP Uganda @WFP_Uganda]

🚨 Namahirwe fled to #Uganda from DR Congo. Last year, funding shortfalls forced @WFP to cut food assistance for 1 million refugees. Now, her family & others face impossible choices.

POV: You now go to school with a full tummy 😀

Triumph once went to school hungry, in #Uganda. Today, he's one of 200,000 students receiving daily meals through our #SchoolMeals programme—improving enrolment and attendance while supporting local farmers.
