WFP to spend US$40 million on vulnerable communities

THE World Food Programme (WFP) says it is spending at least US$40 million in assisting 700 000 vulnerable communities around the country during the lean season.

The lean season is the time between planting and harvesting when food stocks dwindle and vulnerable families often skip meals.

WFP is supporting Zimbabwe to curb this cyclical food crisis that runs from October to March annually.
