Synopsis (short abstract) Somalia has faced the most enduring case of modern state collapse, suffering from internal conflicts and the cumulative impact of frequent and recurring droughts in recent decades, leading to the displacement and destitution of millions. Food security is a serious challenge, with cereal production meeting less than half the country’s needs. A lack of integrated markets across the country, combined with limited storage capacity and highly fluctuating seasonal prices for staple foods, contribute to the reliance on commercial imports to meet much of the demand for food. Within this context, the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) was established to provide information on food security and nutrition issues to a wide range of stakeholders and institutions, as well as an early warning system for potential food crises. The aim of the seventh phase of this project was the transfer of capacity from the FSNAU to the Government of Somalia, through a phased institutionalization process.

    Strengthening national capacity to increase food and nutrition security in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/075/GER 2019

    Entrenched food insecurity and malnutrition is a major concern in Afghanistan. It can be explained by several factors, including limited availability, fragile accessibility and instability of food supplies, among others. Food security and nutrition(FSN) is therefore a high priority on the agenda of the Government of Afghanistan. However, capacity constraints in the field of planning and management of FSN policies, programmes and projects remained a challenge for the successful implementation of FSN interventions. Against this background, the project focused on strengthening national capacities in FSN programming and implementation, and in reviewing, analysing, coordinating, monitoring and evaluating the food security and nutrition situation.

    Since 2011 the IPC has been used to inform evidence based decision making in Yemen and to provide standards to inform emergency programming, as well as being the primary source for food nutrition security resource mobilization The most recent IPC indicated that alarming levels of food insecurity and acute malnutrition have returned to Yemen and that the risk of famine is looming with unprecedentedly high malnutrition rates According to the latest analysis, persistently high levels of food insecurity with increasing food consumption gaps are evident in most governorates, despite the current levels of humanitarian assistance The principal driver of the food crisis remains the ongoing conflict, which has caused widespread infrastructural damage, population displacement, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions with accelerated inflation, disrupted livelihoods, and falling household incomes, humanitarian access constraints, disruption of public services and fuel crises.
