BookletThe case for the food security and nutrition aid tracker
Background note
2024Also available in:
No results found.Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) Zero Hunger requires a measurable improvement in the quantity and quality of official development assistance (ODA) to food security and nutrition. A central component of this work is to obtain the consensus of donors on how to track, monitor and analyse ODA to food security and nutrition. Currently, there is no coherent picture of the resources being spent on food security and nutrition despite a commonly agreed definition of what constitutes food security and nutrition. No single aid tracker provides donors with a tool to comprehensively analyse the quantity and quality of ODA to food security and nutrition that would allow them to make improvements to their current spending. Also, the lack of a coherent picture of the quantity and quality of ODA to food security and nutrition undermines efforts to better coordinate and allocate resources more effectively, and to make decisions based on evidence of the most effective interventions and on countries with the highest priority needs. To progress towards a framework that analyses the data with a view to enable evidence-based decisions, this paper makes the case for the food security and nutrition aid tracker. -

MeetingFood security and nutrition information systems in crisis-prone countries
FAO International Workshop on “Food Security in Complex Emergencies: building policy frameworks to address longer-term programming challenges” Tivoli, 23-25 September 2003
2003Also available in:
No results found.Information on nutrition provides us with one of the few means of evaluating the overall well-being of the population and the extent to which they have been affected by a particular crisis. Using the broader definitions of food security, information on nutrition prompts an analysis that goes beyong the issue of food availability and makes close interaction among sectors inevitable and possible. Understanding information on nutrition supports us in evaluating our concept of ‘normal’ food security and allows us to monitor the impact of crises as well as the interventions designed to address them. This paper examines the nutrition information systems in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Afghanistan as well as Kenya. Although the case studies emphasize the nutrition component of information systems, these are examined in the context of food security and other sectoral information systems, these are examined in the context of the food security and other sectoral information syste ms existing in each country. Recognizing that the six countries studied are at the various stages and levels of crisis, a number of similarities were seen and lessons drawn from their experiences.
