As 2025 is projected to be a year of unrelenting crises, the WFP Global Outlook highlights needs and WFP’s value proposition and key solutions to hunger. It includes operational requirements, the number of people we intend to reach, regional updates with operational requirements per country, and an overview of WFP's footprint and portfolio of activities.
WFP 2025 Global Outlook
2025 will be a year of unrelenting crises
Acute hunger is on the rise again, affecting 343 million people in 74 countries where the World Food Programme (WFP) works and data is available.
Up to 1.9 million people are estimated to be on the brink of famine, primarily in Gaza and Sudan – where famine was confirmed in one location in July – but also pockets of the populations in South Sudan, Haiti and Mali.
WFP’s operational requirement for 2025 is US$16.9 billion, which would allow us to reach 123 million of the most vulnerable food-insecure people globally.
WFP has impactful solutions for the most vulnerable
With sustained support from our donors, in 2025 we will continue to provide life-saving assistance in emergencies and build sustainable solutions to improve the food security and nutrition of millions in the face of conflict, climate extremes and other shocks. We will work with governments and partners to create synergies and increase efficiency.
