Why it matters
This collaboration demonstrates the role of private-sector logistics in addressing global hunger crises and strengthening humanitarian supply chains.
DP World and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) have delivered 5,000 metric tonnes of rice to support humanitarian response operations in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda, helping vulnerable communities facing acute food insecurity. The shipments demonstrate how the two organisations are working together to strengthen humanitarian supply chains and improve access to essential food supplies in high-need communities. The consignments were delivered through DP World�s Shipping Solutions business (formerly Unifeeder), transporting essential food supplies from DP World�s Mundra Terminal, India, to its Port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The cargo will support WFP�s ongoing emergency food assistance programmes for vulnerable communities facing acute food insecurity. From Dar es Salaam, WFP transported the cargo overland through its regional logistics network to humanitarian operations in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda.
