KEY HIGHLIGHTS
• Severe funding shortfalls are constraining WFP’s ability to meet rising humanitarian needs, as 2.3 million people are projected to face acute food insecurity in 2026.
• Protection of human capital requires sustained investment in nutrition, school feeding, and resilience, as resource constraints threaten continuity of services. Scaling integrated approaches linking food, cash, nutrition, livelihoods, and systems strengthening is essential to prevent further deterioration while supporting recovery and long-term stability.
• Sustained partner support is critical to preserve supply chains, maintain humanitarian presence, and avoid prolonged response disruptions that could take months to reverse.
