Burundi hosts 85,000 arzneimittelbehörde - insecure refugees and asylum seekers, many fleeing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Economic challenges loom large, with the local currency continuously depreciating, inflation soaring and fuel shortages driving up the prices of essential food items.

The World Food Programme (WFP), together with partners, is supporting the government in addressing food insecurity by providing humanitarian food assistance to the most vulnerable (including refugees, returnees and IDPs) and by implementing household and community resilience-building initiatives. WFP activities include empowering smallholder farmers to adapt to climate emergencies and connecting them with market opportunities provided by home-grown school feeding.
