Over 15 million people are now acutely food insecure across the Horn of Africa because of drought, up from 12-13 million at the beginning of the year. Should the ongoing rains fail and increased relief assistance not take place, this number of acutely food insecure could rise to 20 million people by the end of the year.
This report outlines Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s response to support the increased humanitarian needs across this region.
As global levels of hunger rise to record highs, Â鶹ÊÓƵ and the European Union continue to work closely together. This report details our partnership in 2021.
Changing lives and saving lives are crucial to end hunger, especially as the world struggles to reach zero hunger by 2030.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ programmes address the immediate needs of people facing food crises for food and nutrition. But they also support communities in building resilience to multiple shocks.
This series of INSIGHT papers shows how a journey towards self-sufficiency can be delivered by those people furthest behind. In this way the root causes of hunger can be addressed and donor governments can move away from a recurring cycle of providing assistance.
Our first paper addresses the monumental impact of a changing climate on people's food security, as reflected in the latest assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which warned that the world risks surpassing 1.5¡ãC of warming in the next two decades ¨C causing irreversible effects.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ has effective and scalable solutions to help food insecure people prepare for, respond to and recover from climate shocks and stresses.
The report highlights Millets as nutritious, climate resilient crop and, an excellent solution for the current agricultural and nutritional crisis in India.
A seismic hunger crisis is enveloping the world amidst a time of unprecedented needs. Climate shocks, conflict, COVID-19 and the spiralling costs of food and fuel, compounded by the conflict in Ukraine and its knock-on effects for countries dependent on that region¡¯s supply of wheat and other food, could drive 50 million people on the edge of famine.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) is forecast to raise less than half of the US$22.2 billion it would take the agency to both save lives and build resilience for 152 million people in 2022. A step-change in support is required to help deliver millions from disaster.
This report explores district conflict drivers, and connections to (lacking) access to resources, livelihoods, and climate change, to inform resilience programming that builds upon entry points for local-level social cohesion.
