    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
    Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
    2022
    Also available in:
    This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.

    A Rapid Analysis of the Fisher Folk Registration Data in Puntland State of Somalia 2014
    Also available in:

    The emergence of the fisheries sector as an important economic activity in the last years has brought a significant increase in the number of fishermen operating in the Puntland. However the exact number of these fishermen is unknown since neither the Ministry of Fisheries nor the respective District Fishing Associations register Somalis who fish in the Puntland waters. The common understanding (based on reports of operational fishing units and their estimated respective crews) is that there are roughly 6500 fishermen operating on the Puntland coastline. However, it is difficult to put an exact figure for full and part time fishermen due to their transient nature. A wealth of information is necessary for effective fisheries management. This is essential to help inform the Puntland administration and FAO and improve the sector’s contribution to nutritional, economic and social wellbeing of the people in Puntland. The lack of information on the number of fishermen, fishing fleet, service s, the state of marine resources, and landings reduces the ability of decision makers to establish a robust fisheries management structure. The data collected during this registration exercise has the ability to fill some of these information gaps. At the same time, this information can prove useful for the government and international naval forces in the attempt to secure Somali waters against piracy and enable bona fide Puntland fishermen to operate more freely at sea. This report does not pre tend to be a deep analysis of the fishing livelihood in Puntland. It is an opportunistic analysis of data collected during the fishermen registration exercise which is ongoing in Puntland (and which is at about 50% of its completion). This ‘rapid’ analysis provides some clues and raises many questions which we hope will become clearer as other data are collected and complemented by qualitative information. Eventually, we hope to reach a more dynamic view of the fisheries sector in this region ov er time.
