WFP, OPEC Fund boost food security in PH

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and the OPEC Fund for International Development (OPEC Fund) signed an agreement for a $500,000 grant in support of the Philippine government's Walang Gutom 2027 (No Hunger) food e-voucher program pilot, co-designed by WFP.

The OPEC Fund Director-General Abdulhamid Alkhalifa met with WFP on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai and expressed the OPEC Fund's support in combating global food insecurity and hunger. This follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the OPEC Fund and WFP in June 2023.
