The Global Food Policy Report-2023 by the International Food Policy Research Institute reveals a worrisome situation of food insecurity and undernourishment in South Asia, including Nepal. The report emphasizes the immediate need for the Government of Nepal to take action and implement necessary measures to address this issue.

KATHMANDU, June 19: Food insecurity and undernourishment are deepening lately in South Asia including Nepal, according to the Global Food Policy Report-2023 prepared by the International Food Policy Research Institute.

KATHMANDU, Nov 4: The United Kingdom government has contributed £4.49 million (equivalent to Rs 678 million) to the World Food Program (WFP) help some of Nepal’s most vulnerable people cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and provide food security and nutrition recovery support for their families.
