European Union supports Eswatini's hungriest with €1.4 million contribution.
WFP will use the donation to scale up its current cash transfer operations from 20,000 to 94,000 families hit hard by the impacts of a poor 2020 harvest, lower earnings, rising prices and COVID-19. One-third of Eswatini’s population will be especially vulnerable to hunger in the run-up to the 2021 harvest, according to a recent government-led assessment.
