43. Beasley is the executive director of the UN's international World Food Programme

...while Hunter Biden was former chair of the USA program, listed in that job for its 2011 annual report. He continued on as a board member through 2016. The USA program with bipartisan political support is important to the international program because a lot of public and private resources in the USA are funneled into the international program. Of course the Peace Prize went to the entire international organization, not a person, and its overall efforts and those of its partners in recent years were cited. But it's not really relevant to compare Beasley to Biden in reference to the food program.
