Analysis

Annual Report - WFP reached 9.3 million people with food and cash assistance in 2022

The World Food Programme (WFP) has just published its 2022 annual report. The combined effects of conflict, climate shocks, poor harvests and a macro-economic crisis including runaway inflation and currency volatility, significantly affected people's access to food in Sudan. In 2022, WFP reached 9.3 million people (56 per cent female), with 168,506 metric tons (MT) of food and USD $83.6 million in cash-based transfers.

For nutrition, WFP assisted over 1.73 million children aged 6-59 months, and 272,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women with nutrition support for the treatment and prevention of malnutrition in 16 states across Sudan. WFP also assisted 1.6 million school-going children in 15 states with school meals or take-home rations.

The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) provided logistical support to the humanitarian community. UNHAS carried 26,342 passengers from 100 partner organizations to 36 destinations and delivered 73.7 MT of light humanitarian cargo. WFP completed the construction and rehabilitation of Zalingei Airport in Central Darfur State. A 500-meter-long runway, passenger check-in and waiting areas were rehabilitated and toilets were installed.
