WFP food for vulnerable populations

    COTONOU

    The World Food Programme (WFP) is to provide Benin with US $ 3 million worth
    of food, services, equipment and non-food supplies annually for four years
    under an accord signed on Thursday in the economic capital, Cotonou.

    WFP's representative in Benin, Jean Pierre Sebron, said the programme, which actually began a few months ago, will be executed primarily in the north and centre of the country. The target areas are zones identified by national and international studies as those most prone to food insecurity, he said. The beneficiaries will be mainly women and children.
