Resúmen
Burkina Faso, one of the world’s hunger hotspots, continued to grapple with severe hunger and malnutrition, particularly in its conflict-affected northern and eastern territories. In 2024, humanitarian needs remained extremely high, with an estimated 6.3 million people – representing a quarter of the population – requiring humanitarian assistance, including food, nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, health, shelter, and protection. Collaborating with a wide range of partners, WFP responded effectively by implementing multifaceted programmes that not only provided relief to address acute needs but also invested in sustainable solutions to create pathways for long-term development and transform food systems. Through its Country Strategic Plan activities, WFP assisted over 2.8 million people (54 percent of whom were women and girls), with IDPs comprising nearly half of these beneficiaries. In line with government objectives to transform food systems and enhance agricultural productivity, WFP continued implementing its resilience-building programme, directly benefiting over 408,000 people.
