- 5 - Australia  
Australia is committed to providing a minimum of AUD 80 million of food assistance per calendar year under the Food Assistance Convention (FAC). All Australian 
funding is provided as untied cash -based support to the World Food Programme (WFP) and other UN agencies, and in fully grant form. In the 2019 -20 Financial 
Year, Australia provided AUD 89.7 million in food assist ance through the WFP.  
 
Australia's approach to food assistance allows the UN World Food Programme flexibility to procure and deliver food assistance  efficiently, effectively and in the 
most timely way possible to those in need. Re -export is not applicable given Australia's approach to providing food assistance through the WFP.

- 6 - Brazil  
Consistent with the Bali Ministerial Declaration on Export Competition, Members shall continue to provide information on International Food Aid within the context 
of an annual examination process, based on the following structure:  
 
In 2020, Brazil did not provide international food aid in -kind in the field of international humanitarian cooperation. The  same year, Brazil provided the following 
humanitarian financial aid that resulted in international humanitarian cooperation in fully grant form:  
 
i. United Nations in Algeria: In response  to a joint appeal from the United Nations High Commissioner for Ref ugees (UNHCR); the World Food Program  (WFP); 
and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the government of Brazil donated USD 50,000.00 (fifty thousand dollars) to a ssist Saharawi refugees 
living in camps in Tindouf neighbourhoods. The funds were tran sferred to WFP's local office in Alger to provide food assistance for three months to 
over 20,000 Saharawi refugees affected by their displacement aggravated by the socio -economic impact of the COVID -19 pandemic. Each person received 
a monthly food selecti on that included cereals (rice, barley, and wheat flour), pulses, vegetable oil, sugar, and a mixture of corn and soy with ad ded 
vitamins and minerals.  
ii. Mali: After receiving an appeal from NGO Mali Horizons, the government of Brazil donated USD 50,000. 00 (fifty thousand dollars) to assist an internally 
displaced Malian population, living in camps near Bamako. The amount was transferred to WFP's Office near Bamako, which colla borated with the NGOs 
Mali Horizons and World Vision Mali to distribute food vo uchers to 260 households. The vouchers were spent at mobile shops whose owners were accredited 
by WFP beforehand, enabling the aforementioned households to have assorted food supplies for a two -month period; and  
iii. Namibia: The government of Brazil, with  the collaboration of WFP, donated USD 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand dollars) to the Namibian Government 
to help their assistance to the most vulnerable local population affected by famine and/or malnutrition due to one of the wor st droughts in the last  35 years, 
aggravated by the COVID -19 pandemic. The funding was used for specialised supplementary feeding (29 metric ton nes of ready to use supplementary food 
- RUSF) for malnourished children aged 6 -59 months and pregnant and lactating women.
