    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.

    Hand-In-Hand Initiative: Enhance Impact of Strategic Policy Frameworks for a Favourable Private Sector Environment to Transform Agriculture Sector - TCP/MOZ/3805 2024

    In 2020, Mozambique had an estimated population of around 29.5 million, with two-thirds living in rural areas. The agricultural sector employed 75 percent of the population, highlighting the heavy reliance of Mozambicans on natural resource-based activities such as rainfed agriculture for their livelihoods. Fragmented, inefficient, and fragile food systems in Mozambique, compounded by susceptibility to various shocks and stressors like weather events, pandemics, and conflict, have led to an inability to adequately address the food and nutritional requirements of the expanding population, thereby negatively affecting food security, nutrition, and the overall economy. This challenge is exacerbated by the limited coping mechanisms and resilience capacity of affected communities, alongside pre-existing social and economic inequalities. The agribusiness sector's competitiveness is weakened by underlying factors, resulting in its potential being largely untapped and hindered by disorganized, informal, and inefficient value chains, inadequate farm investment, low production and productivity, and minimal value addition, necessitating support for the development of an inclusive and robust agribusiness sector.
