Synopsis (short abstract) The Strategic Thinking Process launched in January 2012 helped sharpen the focus of FAO's work and recognized the need for major changes in the way we do business. First,we needed to adopt a results-oriented approach whereby we identify what has to happen and then figure out how to get it done. Second, we needed to make sure that the impact of our work would be felt on the ground and that it would be backed by the global and national policies and practices required to make that impact sustaina ble. Above all, we recognized that our activities must more clearly focus on results, on efficiency and on work in the field.

    This document is a collection of briefs on countries in which food security has been affected by conflict and other crises. Here is an overview of some key numbers: people in conflict affected states are up to three times more likely to be undernourished than those who are living in more stable developing countries. The most recent projections suggest that approximately half of the global poor now live in states characterized by conflict and violence. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) have a strong interest, and a potentially important role to play, in supporting transitions towards peace.
