As part of a joint resilience strategy that aims to strengthen livelihoods and improve the ability of vulnerable Somalis to cope with shocks, WFP and FAO experts have provided training and technical support to small-scale farmers in Somalia, with the hope of linking them to markets and grow to become medium- and large-scale farmers. With funding from the government of Austria, WFP purchased 200 metric tons of maize produced by farmers from Afgoye one of the areas that was worst affected by the famine less than three years ago. WFP hopes to continue this agricultural support and local procurement with the aim of helping smallholder farmers achieve developmental gains while fighting hunger at the same time.

WFP has launched a new emergency operation to expand its assistance to people affected by the unrest in South Sudan. A month after it began, this crisis has forced more than 400,000 people to flee their homes in search of safety. WFP and its partners are providing much needed relief on the ground.
