CA-3-M012974001 2026-07-16T06:32:50 September 30, 2009 - Somalia, which has an estimated population of 7.4 million (2005), has lacked a central government for more than 15 years. It is classified as a least-developed, low-income, food-deficit country and is one of the most food-insecure countries in the world; global acute malnutrition rates are as much as 20% in some areas. CIDA's contribution is helping the World Food Programme (WFP) to address the emergency food aid needs of upwards of 2.5 million beneficiaries through this operation. The goal of WFP's operation in Somalia is to save lives and protect livelihoods, thus contributing to national stability and the household food security of vulnerable groups. Activities include food for assets, food for training, nutritional support to people undergoing medical treatment, and support to education through school feeding.
