WFP
DAKAR/BRUSSELS – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the European Union (EU) today announced that they are partnering in an 18-month project to improve the production, availability and consumption of nutritious foods to prevent malnutrition among women and children in Africa’s Central Sahel region comprising Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
The project, backed with a contribution of €20 million by the EU through the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, will see WFP provide immediate assistance to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition while supporting the entire value chain for nutritious foods.
The combined effects of conflict and climate change, compounded by the socio-economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, are disrupting food security and nutrition in the region. Close to 3 million children are at risk of becoming acutely malnourished across the three countries in the Central Sahel.

“I came to Libya five years ago in the hope of finding a better future. However, surviving as a migrant and providing for yourself and your family is a continuous struggle. Recently, when I found that I have got pregnant, the fear of the future overcame the feelings of happiness.” Hawa, a 28-year-old migrant is recounting how she came for her prenatal visit to AlQadsia Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Tripoli.
Migrant and refugee challenges
A migrant from Mali, Hawa’s is one of the many untold stories of migrants and refugees in Libya. According to the 2021 Libyan Humanitarian Response Plan, there are an estimated 585,000 migrants and refugees in the country, all exposed to and at risk of natural and man-made calamities.
