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.
