Synopsis (short abstract) The Boko Haram insurgency in Cameroon’s Far North region has led to a large influx of refugees from neighbouringNigeria and of internally displaced people. Local communities, already disproportionately affected by years of low socio-economic development, have suffered from the impact upon the environment, food security, nutrition and basic social services. In an attempt to prevent radicalization of youths and women, the project aimed to build the capacity of local, traditional and religious auth orities to better understand the vulnerabilities, plan the response, tackle the crisis, contribute to the dialogue for peace and constitute a solid basis for peaceful coexistence and a brighter social and economic future for the region.

    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.

    In view of the existing tension and potential conflict between the host community and conflict-affected refugees in Turkana County, Kenya, an improvement in relations was urgently needed. It was noted that support could be given to disadvantaged hosts, linking them to market opportunities offered by the refugee situation, to the benefit of all concerned. The project sought to enable host communities to supply fresh produce (primarily vegetables and animal products) to the camp as part of the fre sh food voucher component of the World Food Programme’s General Food Distribution and provide support to ensure that increased income from vouchers was used to improve food security and ultimately nutrition.

    Years of conflict in Iraq has left 3.2 million people food insecure, including those who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Humanitarian needs remain significant after eight months since military operations to retake Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) started. According to figures from the Iraqi Government, on 28 June 2017, more than 897 000 people had been displaced from Mosul and surrounding areas since the offensive began on 17 October 2016. As of 28 June 201 7, 152 313 people had returned to their homes in eastern Mosul and 62 513 people to western Mosul. Military operations continue in western Mosul, where concerns remain for the protection of civilians in the remaining ISIL-controlled areas in the city.
