Also available in:
This is the second of three annual issues of this report prepared by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) on the food supply situation and cereal import and food aid requirements for all countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The report is designed to provide the latest analysis and information on the food situation in these countries to governments, international organizations and other institutions engaged in relief operations. Part I focuses on the continuing critical si tuation of large numbers of drought-affected and/or displaced persons, refugees, returnees and other vulnerable populations in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa facing severe food shortages. The report highlights worsening food emergency in the Horn of Africa where an increased number of people are in need of relief assistance. It particularly emphasises the bleak food supply situation in Kenya caused by drought and in Eritrea due to war-induced population displacement and drought. The report draws attention to the serious food and nutritional difficulties in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the continued food assistance requirements in other parts of the Great Lakes Region. It also points to the food supply difficulties in Sierra Leone and Liberia due to current or past civil unrest and in parts of southern Africa affected by floods and cyclones. Part II contains an assessment of crop prospects and the food supply situation by sub-region, giving the latest estimates of cere al import and food aid requirements of all four sub-regions of sub-Saharan Africa. -

This is the first of three annual issues of this report prepared by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) on the food supply situation and cereal import and food aid requirements for all countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The report is designed to provide the latest analysis and information on the food situation in these countries to governments, international organizations and other institutions engaged in relief operations. Part I focuses attention on the impact of the mid-season dry spell and the recent heavy rains and floods on the crop and food situation in southern Africa. It also stresses the continuing food emergency in the Horn of Africa, where the food supply situation remains serious, despite recent beneficial rains. In addition, it highlights the food supply difficulties in the Great Lakes region, as well as in Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea where international food assistance continues to be needed. Part II contains an assessment of crop prospects and the food supply situation by sub-region, giving the latest estimates of cereal import and food aid requirements of all four sub-regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Part III presents the latest analysis and information on crop prospects and the food supply situation and outlook in each country. The information on food aid pledges, including triangular transactions and local purchases, and on expected arrivals, is based on data transmitted to GIEWS as of late March 2001 by the following donors: Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, EC, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States as well as the World Food Programme. For other donors, data are based on field reports from various sources (see Tables 6 and 7). -

Book (series)GuidelineResponsible fish utilization 1998These guidelines have been produced to support the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries particularly with regard to the need for responsibility in the post-harvest sector of the fish producing industry. The industry that produces fish for food has three major areas of responsibility: to the consumer of the food to ensure that it is safe to eat, is of expected quality and nutritional value, to the resource to ensure that it is not wasted and to the envir onment to ensure that negative impacts are minimized. In addition the industry has a responsibility to itself to ensure the continued ability of many millions of people throughout the world to earn a gainful living from working within the industry. Article 11.1 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other related parts of the Code are concerned particularly with these responsibilities. This publication provides annotation to and guidance on these articles to assist those c harged with implementation of the Code to identify possible courses of action necessary to ensure that the industry is conducted in a sustainable manner.
