Sudan and WFP agree to strengthen food security and recovery

Sudanese officials and World Food Programme (WFP) leaders met in Khartoum to strengthen social protection and food security efforts.

Junta Minister Professor Mutasim Ahmed Saleh hosted international delegates to coordinate humanitarian operations in vulnerable regions.

The discussions focused on helping communities move from emergency aid toward sustainable economic recovery and greater self-reliance.

Both sides agreed to establish a joint technical task force to develop mechanisms for implementing the partnership.

The task force will also prepare a memorandum of understanding outlining future cooperation and key milestones.

International partners pledged targeted assistance for returning citizens, including expanded services, food distributions and support at border crossings.

Further investments will support smallholder farmers, youth programmes and women-led agricultural projects aimed at increasing local incomes.

The WFP also plans to connect humanitarian assistance with local production to strengthen livelihoods and reduce long-term aid dependence.

Saleh welcomed international support but stressed that strengthening local economies remains essential for stability, peace and recovery.

Officials said the programmes could help communities transition from reliance on humanitarian aid toward productive and sustainable livelihoods.

The partnership represents an important step toward supporting Sudan’s recovery while improving food security across the country.
