Shirika la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani (WFP) limetunzwa Tuzo ya Amani ya Nobel kwa mwaka 2020 kufuatia jitihada zake za kupambana na baa la njaa

Shirika hilo la Umoja wa Mataifa (UN) linakadiriwa kusaidia watu Milioni 97 kutoka nchi 88 kila mwaka. Licha ya hivyo, WFP imesema bado mtu 1 kati ya 9 hana chakula cha kutosha

Tuzo hiyo ina thamani ya takriban Dola za Marekani Milioni 1.1. Mwaka jana, tuzo hiyo ilienda kwa Waziri Mkuu wa Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed

The 2020 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) for its efforts to combat hunger.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said the WFP had acted "as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict".

The prize is worth 10m Swedish krona ($1.1m).

The 101st winner of the prize was announced at the Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo.

A WFP spokesman said it was a "proud moment".

The WFP estimates it helps about 97 million people a year, in 88 countries.

Who are previous Nobel Peace Prize winners?

The Nobel Peace Prize last year went to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, whose peace deal with Eritrea ended a 20-year military stalemate following their 1998-2000 border war.

Former US President Barack Obama won the prize in 2009, for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".

Other notable winners include former US President Jimmy Carter (2002); child education activist Malala Yousafzai (shared 2014); the European Union (2012); the United Nations and its secretary-general at the time, Kofi Annan, (shared 2001); and Mother Teresa (1979).

What's the background?

The Nobel Prize is one of the world's most important awards.

It was started in accordance with the will of Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, with the first award handed out in 1901.

Nobel Prizes are awarded in several categories to people "who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind" in the previous 12 months.

The recipient of each Nobel Prize receives three things:
  • A Nobel diploma, each of which is a unique work of art
  • A Nobel medal
  • A cash prize, which is split between winners when there is more than one. They have to deliver a lecture to receive the money
There have been some years when the prize has not been awarded - mostly during the two world wars.

Nobel Foundation rules state if nobody deserves the prize in a particular category, it is not awarded and its prize money is kept for the following year.

Trump ameikosa? Nobel imekosa maana kabisa kama umuhimu wa Trump kwa amani ya dunia haujathaminiwa.
