Over 400K people in #Namibia face acute hunger, despite some improvements recorded between April & June this year. With the right nutrition at the right time, recovery is possible. @WFP is proving nutrition support to children to curb malnutrition.

The World Food Programme says it assisted 138,013 people in Namibia during April 2026 as climate-related shocks, flooding and food insecurity continued to place pressure on vulnerable households across the country. According to the WFP Namibia Country Brief for April 2026, 53% of the beneficiaries were female, while 11,800 schoolchildren benefited from the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme and 126,213 children under the age of five received support through Early Childhood Development centres. The agency said food security conditions remain under strain despite improvements recorded following government drought relief interventions and favourable rainfall conditions. โ€œThe impact of multiple shocks continues to strain vulnerable households, with food security needs remaining high even after the national drought response programme ended,โ€ WFP said. thebrief.com.na/2026/05/wfp-โ€ฆ #namibia #foodprogramme #foodsecurity #flooding @WFPNamibia @MAWLR_Nam @UNICEF @MEIYSAC_Namibia @FinanceNamibia @EUinNamibia
