Venezuela is facing an extended socioeconomic crisis resulting in hyperinflation, leaving over five million individuals in need of humanitarian assistance (HRP, 2022-2023). In April 2021, WFP and the Venezuelan government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) allowing WFP to establish a presence in the country to provide critical humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities through food programs and logistical support to the overall humanitarian response.
