Food aid supply and distribution in insecure regions: world food programme operation analysis in Ethiopia

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of food insecurity. "More than 820 million people in the world are still hungry today, underscoring the immense challenge of achieving the Zero Hunger target by 2030. Hunger is rising in almost all subregions of Africa" (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2019). In 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, providing a blueprint for peace and prosperity. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, from which Goal 2 states: "End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture" (United Nations, 2018).
