Appointment of Ambassador Cindy McCain as Executive Director of the World Food Program, congratulated Ambassador Cindy McCain on her appointment by means of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization to serve as the subsequent Executive Director of the World Food Program (WFP). For over 60 years, WFP has performed a imperative function in addressing international hunger, poverty, and undernutrition worldwide, helping feed millions of human beings in determined need. WFP performs a necessary function in the global community’s efforts to reply to the worsening global food security crisis, and the United States, as its biggest contributor, is deeply invested in its persevering with success. We are grateful for Ambassador McCain’s provider as Permanent Representative to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome, the place she has led implementation of our food security policies. I am confident that she will convey renewed energy, optimism, and success to the World Food Program. I would additionally like to categorical my perception to outgoing WFP Executive Director David Beasley for his dedication to the thousands and thousands round the world in need of life-sustaining support. Since 2017, David has led WFP via exceptional challenges, dramatically increasing the variety of humans served and enhancing conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas, for which WFP earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2020.
