Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

The food security situation in Venezuela remains critical, with 5.1 million people urgently needing food assistance.

Economic access to good quality and nutritious food is a challenge for many families as food-price increases erode purchasing power.

The frequency and intensity of disasters such as floods, droughts and landslides, further poses a major challenge to agriculture, food production and livelihoods.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is focused on life-saving food assistance to vulnerable populations. Communities, families, children and more than a dozen partners rely on our proven ability to reach even the most remote areas – always prioritizing those in greatest need.

We provide school meals, assist vulnerable communities with food and/or resilience-building interventions, and support climate-risk management and the strengthening of food systems infrastructure and logistical capacity. We continue to apply age, gender and diversity lenses throughout all our programmes, including tailored interventions to meet the needs of people with disabilities and of Indigenous communities.

WFP urgently requires additional funding to sustain critical support for the most vulnerable populations in Venezuela.
