This factsheet provides a summary of the main findings of a Food Security Outcome Monitoring (FSOM) exercise conducted from August 2020 to September 2020 and covering households in Azraq and Zaatari Camps.
The brief provides an analysis on Â鶹ÊÓƵ Emergency Operation in Cox¡¯s Bazar (Bangladesh) which have adapted to the newer challenges due to COVID-19 to continue life-saving interventions for the extremely vulnerable population. Â鶹ÊÓƵ has also ramped up its assistance to the host population which is a critical element of its operation.
Conflict is driving hunger in nearly all the world¡¯s main food crises. War leads to greater food insecurity. And, in its turn, food insecurity increases the chances of unrest and violence.
These challenging times, brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic, compel humanitarian and development agencies like Â鶹ÊÓƵ to demonstrate innovation, efficiency, and perseverance to keep meeting the needs of vulnerable populations through the delivery of quality services. Â鶹ÊÓƵ has been working closely with the Government of Uganda and its other partners to ensure that the delivery of essential services such as food and cash, as well as logistical support, continue unhindered and compliant with Government directives during this unprecedented global pandemic.
Here are just of few of the ways Â鶹ÊÓƵ has continued to support Ugandans, and those seeking refuge in Uganda, towards Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger during the COVID-19 response
This Special Report summarizes the findings of a joint FAO/Â鶹ÊÓƵ Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) that visited the Lao People¡¯s Democratic Republic from 16 November to 5 December 2019 at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The report forecasts harvest yields and projects figures for food insecurity and required food assistance.
In response to COVID19 outbreak, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Jordan is proactively taking measures to ensure that Â鶹ÊÓƵ beneficiaries continue to receive assistance and are appropriately shielded from the effects of COVID19. To this end, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Jordan has introduced modifications to its systems and processes to align to the quickly changing context. Similarly, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Jordan has adapted its routine process monitoring and introduced remote monitoring. This report provides the first monitoring findings and serves to inform decision-making of key stakeholders. The findings presented here focus primarily on data collected and analysed between March 31. 2020 and April 8, 2020.
¡®Why is food assistance needed in a country like Congo, where nature is so generous?¡¯ The attached study, implemented thanks to a grant from BMZ, provides some answers.
The Household Economy Analysis process allowed us to map out 9 distinct ¡®livelihood zones¡¯ in Congo. It also produced household profiles for the Pool, the part of the country that has experienced conflict on and off for the past 20 years. It shows that for the poorest households, monetary poverty and low access to land constitute serious obstacles to food security, even in an apparently green and well-watered part of the country. Recurrent conflict in the Pool only exacerbates these challenges by undermining the casual labor markets poorest households rely on for income.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ will use this baseline to strengthen our monitoring of food security in the Pool and to boost our targeting there. We will also do similar profiles in other parts of the country, including the flood-affected North.
A lifeline of hope.
Since 2012, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) has provided refugees in Lebanon with food assistance, first with food parcels, then paper vouchers and now with e-cards.
This Synthesis of Operations Evaluations for the West and Central Africa Region brings together the findings of fifteen operations evaluations, conducted from mid-2013 to mid-2017
This Synthesis of Operations Evaluations for the Southern Africa Region brings together the findings of 11 operations evaluations, conducted from mid-2013 to mid-2017.
This synthesis presents findings of evaluations conducted between July 2016 and June 2017, covering 15 operations of varying types, durations, sizes and settings, with a total planned value of USD 2.3 billion (over USD 1.35 billion funded), which targeted 19.7 million beneficiaries a year.
This country portfolio evaluation (CPE) covered the Â鶹ÊÓƵ South Sudan 2014¨C2017 country strategy and portfolio of operations during 2011¨C2016. It assessed: Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic alignment and positioning; the factors and quality of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic decision-making; and the performance and results of the portfolio. The CPE was timed to provide evidence to inform the country office¡¯s strategic orientation and feed into the design of its 2018¨C2020 interim country strategic plan. It was conducted by Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s independent Office of Evaluation together with an external evaluation team, with field work in January and February 2017.
The mid-term evaluation covers the Sudan Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation 200703 ¡°Support for food security and nutrition for conflict-affected and chronically vulnerable populations¡±.
