There are 1.6 mn children involved in hazardous work in Egypt and poverty continues to prevent their access to education, according to the World Food Program (WFP)’s Egypt country brief. WFP also says it “provides technical support to the Government of Egypt by assisting with the development of a sustainable strategy for the National School Feeding programme. In addition, WFP supports asset creation through its Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) activities to enhance livelihoods and build resilience to the effects of climate change.”
