Summary
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) reaches around 80 million people in more than 80 countries every year. In 2015, yet another year of increased crises and unprecedented needs and displacement worldwide, the partnership between the European Union (EU), its Member States and WFP remained strong, prioritising the needs of the most vulnerable for a zero hunger world. Contributing more than €1.2 billion in 2015, the EU and Member States helped WFP provide food assistance to millions of people in 55 countries. Funding food assistance, however, often goes beyond direct food distribution. WFP, with EU support, provides both life-saving humanitarian assistance and longer-term development support to tackle the root causes of hunger and malnutrition.
