    FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO ETHIOPIA - 26 January 2000 2000
    Also available in:
    The FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission for 1999 was conducted in two parts, with two different time frames and two counterpart agencies. The findings of both assessments are combined into this one Special Report. The first and larger exercise was that carried out by WFP/Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Commission (DPPC) between 6 November and 31 December. This involved 20 teams (comprising staff of DPPC, WFP and other donors) visiting all the zones in the country and a high prop ortion of the food deficit woredas. The aim was to assess both the chronic and current vulnerability of local populations to food insecurity, and to quantify the amounts of food aid required during the year 2000. The analysis of the results of this survey was completed by early January 2000. The second part of the Mission was a crop survey conducted by FAO with assistance from MoA during the period of 18 to 30 November 1999. Its remit was to finalize the main season cereal and pulse production e stimates for 1998 and to prepare production forecasts for 1999. The forecasts were developed at zonal level and aggregated to give a national picture of cereal and pulse availability for 2000, together with an estimate of national import requirements. The FAO/MoA team reported its preliminary findings to Government and donors on 6-7 December 1999.

    FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO SUDAN - 12 January 2000 2000
    Also available in:
    An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited southern Sudan from 10 October to 3 November 1999 and northern Sudan from 24 November to 13 December to estimate the 1999 cereal production and to make an early forecast of wheat production from areas now being planted. The Mission was able to visit 24 out of the 26 States in both Government and rebel-held areas. Based on these production estimates and an estimate of carryover stocks, the Mission assessed the overall cereal supply situat ion, including food aid needs for the 1999/2000 marketing year (November/October). The Mission benefited from the full co-operation of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), with both assigning senior staff to accompany the Mission. Pre-harvest area and yield forecasts were provided by State Ministries of Agriculture which the Mission cross checked during field surveys and farmer and trader interviews. Discussions were also held with key informants fr om local government administrations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) including ACCORD, Sudan Red Crescent, German Agro Action, Action Contre le Faim, Care International, Oxfam, and from UNDP and UNICEF.

    CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY SITUATION IN SIERRA LEONE - 4 February 2000 2000
    Also available in:
    Since November 1996, when the last FAO/GIEWS Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited the country, serious security problems precluded any meaningful assessment of the food situation in Sierra Leone. It was only towards the end of 1999, following a peace agreement and the restoration of a civilian administration, that it became possible, albeit to a limited extent, to engage in such an exercise. Accordingly, FAO/GIEWS fielded a short mission from 29 November to 11 December to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the food situation to the extent that circumstances allowed. This report is the outcome of that mission. The Mission acknowledges the valuable contributions from a range of agencies and organizations, private and public, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Marine Resources (MAFE), WFP, World Vision International (WVI), EC, USAID, CRS, AFRICARE, Action Contre La Faim (ACF) and CARE. The mission also had detailed discussions with some members of the National Association of Farmers of Sierra Leone.
