UN appoints Luke Lindberg to head World Food Programme

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and Food and Agriculture Organization Director-General Qu Dongyu announced the appointment of Luke Lindberg as executive director of the World Food Programme (WFP).

He is 37 years old and will replace Cindy McCain, who led the Rome-based agency. Lindberg’s nomination reportedly came at a time when WFP faces funding shortfalls that threaten hunger relief for millions.
