Key takeaway Further details on the situation and its potential impact are available from the World Food Programme's country brief for July 2026.
Food security in the area is worsening, but efforts to address the issue are being hindered by a lack of funds. The World Food Programme is facing severe funding shortfalls, which is preventing them from implementing a response to the lean season in 2026. The national school feeding programme, a crucial safety net, is also at risk due to a significant funding gap.
This programme is the largest of its kind in the country and its continuity is uncertain for the upcoming school year. Further details on the situation and its potential impact are available from the World Food Programme's country brief for July 2026.
