#Noble Peace Prize goes to The World Food Programme
“#Noble Peace Prize goes to The World Food Programme”
The prize, which was announced by Nobel Committee chair Berit Reiss-Andersen, is worth 10 million Swedish crowns — about $1.1 million — and will be presented in Oslo on Dec. 10.
The WFP, which was created in 1961, provides food to over 90 million people a year, according to CNN.
It was honored “for its efforts to combat hunger, for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict.”
Last year’s prize was won by Abiy Ahmed, the Ethiopian prime minister who helped end a war between his country and Eritrea.
Four US Presidents have won the Nobel Peace Prize — Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
President Trump scored three nominations for the prize, including for his foreign policy philosophy, dubbed the “Trump Doctrine” and helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Other winners have included Nelson Mandela, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and Polish dissident Lech Walesa.
