    The FAO's "Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO)" aimed to build food system resilience in crisis-affected areas of Sudan (Darfur), Somaliland, and South Sudan from 2019 to 2024, with a budget of USD 28 million. This evaluation assessed the program's relevance, approach, and impact on rural food security, nutrition, and resilience. Using mixed methods, including over 100 interviews, 20 focus group discussions, and field visits, the evaluation revealed FNS-REPRO's innovative approach to addressing conflict and food insecurity by upgrading food systems along value chains. Despite its novel design, the program lacked coherence between components, such as integrating nutrition capacity-building with agricultural value chains. Significant improvements were noted in agricultural income, natural resource management, conflict management, and women's engagement. However, the absence of local private sector partnerships posed a sustainability risk. The evaluation provided eight recommendations to enhance future programs, emphasizing comprehensive value chain support, local partnerships, peacebuilding funding, and community-based monitoring.

    The "Building food system resilience in protracted crises" was a four-year programme addressing the cause-effect relationship between conflict and food insecurity, through a livelihood and resilience-based approach, in Somalia, South Sudan and the Sudan. It supported improved incomes in rural areas by enhancing key agropastoral and farming value chains, as well as improved nutritional practices, natural resources management and local conflict-management capacities. The Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO) was a collaborative initative funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Orgranization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with Wageningen University & Research.

    Food and nutrition security resilience programme in Somaliland
    Baseline report

    This report acts as a baseline for the Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a four-year programme of USD 28 million funded by the Government of the Netherlands. This programme contributes directly to the operationalization of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2417 by addressing the “cause-effect” relationship between conflict and food insecurity in Somaliland, the Sudan (Darfur) and South Sudan. The programme, which became operational in October 2019, is designed to foster peace and food security at scale through a multi-year livelihood- and resilience-based approach. The FNS-REPRO component in Somaliland focuses on developing the feed and fodder value chain, through a food systems approach. The purpose of the study is to collect baseline values for identified project indicators, which will be tracked over time and used to establish the impact of the project. In addition, it identifies and documents lessons learned that will facilitate the continuous realignment of the current project’s theory of change and assist in defining and designing similar future food security projects in Somaliland as well as in other parts of the world with similar contexts. The baseline study was structured around the project indicators that can be measured at household level as well as indicators that will be used to estimate household resilience capacity. Estimation of the household resilience capacity is done using the FAO RIMA-II tool. Overall, the study employed a panel design with both intervention and comparison households. The current baseline survey focused on Sool and Sanaag regions. Data was collected from a total of 1 026 households, 816 treatment households and 210 control households. The survey was conducted in two phases – in the first phase data were collected from 655 households in February 2020, while in the second phase an additional 371 households were surveyed in October 2020.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
    Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
    2025
    While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
