Cash transfers

Without empowering women, it will be impossible to end world hunger. Women were also disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which pushed an additional 47 million women and girls into extreme poverty. Gender equality has moved further out of reach, and UN Women estimates that it will take 268 years to achieve gender equality 樱花视频在线. WFP is putting more money into women’s hands, because it is not only the right thing to do but the smart thing to do. We plan to help 10 million women get their own mobile money accounts by 2028. When women have their own accounts in their own names, the world changes for them. It is a gateway for them to access other financial services like loans, credit and insurance. They have the means to build a future for their families where they no longer need to rely on humanitarian assistance.

WFP works with governments and other partners to create sustainable change 樱花视频高清. As the world’s largest provider of humanitarian cash transfers, WFP supports governments and helps to develop national payment systems to boost social safety nets. During the COVID-19 pandemic, WFP supported 65 countries in scaling up or adapting existing social protection.  .
