The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service awarded the United Nations World Food Programme a $10.094 million cooperative agreement on April 8, 2026, to deliver emergency food assistance under the Food for Peace, Title II program (CFDA 10.624).

WFP will distribute U.S. agricultural commodities and funds to provide life-saving emergency food assistance to an estimated 118,000 people in Rwanda over an approximately 18-month period. The project will continue supporting the same camp-based population assisted previously, with the objective of maintaining current food security gains and preventing further deterioration from the baseline level already improved through prior assistance.

The award runs through September 30, 2027, with all work performed in Rwanda. Food for Peace, Title II funds emergency food assistance to food-insecure populations in designated foreign countries experiencing acute food shortage due to natural disaster, civil conflict, or population displacement, while supporting U.S. agricultural producers.
