Last week, Luxembourg and WFP held their annual consultations at WFP Headquarters in Rome! 🇺🇳🤝🇱🇺 Together we took stock of our broad partnership, discussed WFP’s operations as well as the challenges it is facing, and assessed how Luxembourg can best contribute to WFP’s mission to end global hunger. 🇱🇺 prides itself on being a predictable, multi-year and flexible contributor to UN agencies, and its new partnership agreement with WFP for 2027–2029 is no exception. Beyond supporting WFP’s emergency operations — including through flexible contributions & collaboration on logistics and telecommunications through emergency.lu — the partnership also leverages Luxembourg’s expertise in cybersecurity and data management to strengthen WFP’s capacities in these areas. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with our partners at WFP under the leadership of new Executive Director Luke J. Lindberg! 🤝 MAE, Luxembourg Luxembourg Aid & Development emergency.lu World Food Programme
