    Monitoring food security in countries with conflict situations
    A joint FAO/WFP update for the members of the United Nations Security Council
    2020
    Also available in:

    This seventh FAO/WFP update to the UNSC covers five countries (Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Haiti, Somalia and South Sudan) and two regions (the Lake Chad Basin and central Sahel) that are currently experiencing protracted conflict and insecurity and in which, according to latest figures, almost 30 million people need urgent food, nutrition and livelihood assistance. The analysis indicates a worsening of the food security situation in Somalia, and persisting high levels of food insecurity in the Lake Chad Basin and Afghanistan. Although the numbers of acutely food insecure people in South Sudan showed a downward trend the analysis was carried out before the country was hit by devastating floods. The Central African Republic experienced a slight improvement thanks to the above-average harvest and improved security in some areas. Acute food insecurity levels in Haiti and central Sahel, which were not in the previous update, are extremely concerning and forecast to deteriorate. At the beginning of 2019, there were 41 active highly violent conflicts, an increase from 36 at the start of the previous year. These conflicts, which are mostly happening in already poor, fragile and food insecure areas, are causing immense suffering and a huge need for humanitarian assistance, which has been vital in preventing a worsening of food crises in many countries covered in this update. And yet distribution of relief assistance, assessment of needs and monitoring of beneficiaries is being increasingly constrained in all the countries and regions profiled in this update.

    Climate resilience pathways of rural households: Evidence from Ethiopia 2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Climate variability and extreme events continue to impose significant challenges to households, particularly to those that are less resilient. By exploring the resilience capacity of rural Ethiopian households after the drought shock occurred in 2011, using panel data, this paper shows important socio-economic and policy determinants of households’ resilience capacity. Three policy indications emerge from the analysis. First, government support programmes, such as the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), appear to sustain households’ resilience by helping them to reach the level of pre-shock total consumption, but have no impact on the food-consumption resilience. Secondly, the “selling out assets strategy” affects positively households’ resilience, but only in terms of food consumption – not total consumption. Finally, the presence of informal institutions, such as social networks providing financial support, sharply increases households’ resilience by helping them to reach preshock levels of both food consumption and total consumption.
