World Food Programme

The United Nations World Food Programme is by far the largest international organization fighting hunger. It reports that it served more than 100 million people in 2024. FIve years ago, it won the Nobel Peace Prize.

But WFP is about to radically downsize in the wake of dwindling donations and the Trump administration's cuts to foreign aid.

WFP spent $9.8 billion on aid last year — nearly half of the funds were contributed by the U.S. But this year, it's facing a projected 40% reduction in funding.

In a memo emailed to all WFP employees on April 24, leadership told staff to expect job cuts of 25-30%, or about 6,000 positions. The email, obtained by NPR, said the cuts would affect every level of the organization and every place they operate.
