Summary
In 2016, as we entered the first year of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) worked hard to achieve a world free from hunger, where communities have the resources and tools they need for an active and healthy life. With the European Union (EU), we were determined to build on past achievements and continue narrowing the gap to Zero Hunger. Together, the EU and its Member States contributed over €2.2 billion to WFP in 2016, helping reach millions of vulnerable people in 59 countries. The European Commission alone was WFP’s second largest donor.
