We cannot #EndHunger alone, which is why partnerships are essential to World Food Programme’s work. The private sector can be a big part of the solution, and places like the Philippines show just how much we can do together to turn the tide against hunger and malnutrition. SunStar Philippines
Solutions to end hunger require immense collaboration, says World Food Programme Executive Director Cindy McCain.
Together with our development partners, we are scaling up investments to improve food security in Asia and the Pacific.

🌙 Eid Mubarak to all celebrating. Wishing you a blessed Eid filled with the joy of giving and the nourishment of community. #EidAlFitr
Every day I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to lead the world's largest and best humanitarian organization, and inspired by our global team’s resilience, courage and determination. Thank you for an incredible first year as your teammate, World Food Programme.
Honored to visit the The Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm last week to donate a gift on behalf of World Food Programme as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The grain sack & cash card symbolize our mission to combat hunger and improve conditions for peace.
Attacks on aid workers are unacceptable and unconscionable. All of Gaza is hungry, and humanitarians must be able to safely do our jobs. Wolf Blitzer #NotATarget
I am shocked and heartbroken by the tragic deaths of the World Central Kitchen team while delivering lifesaving food aid in Gaza. This attack on our humanitarian community is unacceptable. The safety of aid workers is paramount, as is the safety of those who come to receive aid. #NotATarget
On the difficulties of humanitarian aid reaching Gaza, Cindy McCain says, 'We need full, unfettered access and right now we don't have that,' and aid that's gone through so far is 'nothing' compared to what's needed.
'People are going to die otherwise, and they already are dying.'
'It's the forgotten crisis now.'
Cindy McCain Cindy McCain describes the hunger and refugee conditions in Sudan, South Sudan and Chad that could lead to 'the next largest humanitarian crisis that we will know.'
Unlocking new opportunities across the private sector has been a top priority since day one on the job. I was impressed to learn about what World Food Programme and Sweden’s private sector partners are already doing and am determined to leverage the potential for collaboration.
With growing crises around the world, Sweden and World Food Programme’s partnership is more important than ever. Strategic, predictable support and flexible funding allows us to respond to more people in need — from Gaza to Ukraine and so many places in between.
Great meeting with HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. With increasing conflict and climate change causing hunger to surge globally, Sweden's steadfast partnership with World Food Programme is more important than ever. Thank you.

Thank you Ahmed Hussen for 🇨🇦 Canada's unwavering partnership. Together, we will continue to deliver life-saving food to the most vulnerable. World Food Programme could not do our vital work without you.
