Brazil made a humanitarian donation to the government of Namibia to continue the Brazilian support to the country’s efforts to overcome the chronic food insecurity of the last five years, aggravated by recurrent droughts and, now, by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, Brazil made a similar donation for the acquisition of 29 tons of food supplements distributed throughout 2020 to children aged 6 to 59 months, living in the most affected regions of the country.
The donation was coordinated by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC), of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), and operationalised by the Embassy of Brazil in Windhoek, with the support of the World Food Programme (WFP). The symbolic ceremony of handing over the donation was held in February this year.
