Monaco extends partnership with World Food Programme to champion gender equality
The Principality has signed a multi-year agreement with the World Food Programme, providing funding to promote gender equality and women's empowerment in food security initiatives.
The Principality has formalised a new multi-year partnership with the World Food Programme, extending Monaco's commitment to advancing gender equality in global food security efforts. The agreement covers the 2026-2027 period and builds upon previous successful collaboration between the two entities.
This renewed partnership focuses on ensuring women and girls have equal access to food security and nutrition programmes worldwide. The initiative aims to address the underlying structural causes of gender inequality whilst promoting economic and food independence for women and young girls in vulnerable communities.
The Monaco contribution will support the World Food Programme's dedicated trust fund, which integrates gender considerations into all humanitarian interventions. This approach recognises that achieving sustainable food security requires addressing the specific challenges faced by women in accessing resources and opportunities in many parts of the world.
