WFP to Shut Down Southern Africa Bureau

The United Nations’ World Food Programme is closing its regional bureau for Southern Africa, a communications officer confirmed on Monday to CNBCAfrica. The decision, announced in an internal email from WFP Global Executive Director Cindy McCain, was shared with staff worldwide on Friday according to Bloomberg News. A WFP spokesperson in Johannesburg confirmed the closure to Reuters but did not provide reasons or clarify whether it was linked to recent U.S. foreign aid cuts ordered by former President Donald Trump.
