More than 27 million people across #SouthernAfrica are food insecure as a devastating #drought sweeps through the region. @WFP is scaling up to help those most in need, but a massive funding shortfall may jeopardise our ability to mount a response at scale.

Smallholder farmers produce much of the world’s food. Investing in them means improving the lives of rural people, supporting local economies & fostering sustainable food production. When rural people are resilient, the whole world is stronger.
