Provides an overview of key trends in food security and nutrition across FAO's five official regions. An entire section of the report focuses on issues and response mechanisms for building the resilience of the most vulnerable populations.
The Regional Overview of Food Insecurity provide an overview of key trends in food security and nutrition across FAO's five official regions. Since 2015, sub-Saharan Africa has experienced severe climate-induced disruptions as a result of the El Niäo and La Niäa weather phenomena. The severity and extent of these phenomena, and related droughts and floods, have been considered the worst since the turn of the century, and have affected the livelihoods of tens of millions of poor households. This is compounded by the increasing frequency of other shocks - civil strife and conflicts, increasing incidence of trans-boundary plant and animal pests and diseases as well as socio-economic shocks that are likely to reverse years of progress, undermining efforts by African governments to attain food security and nutrition. An entiresection of the report focuses on issues and response mechanisms for building the resilience of the most vulnerable populations.
