In March and April 2022, Â鶹ÊÓƵ interviewed over 4,700 Ukrainians to understand more about their levels of food insecurity. This report details the results of this assessment.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) estimates the increase in acute hunger following the Ukraine conflict. We model the pass-through of price increases on global grain and energy markets from international to domestic markets, and the ensuing loss of access to food by those who could barely afford a minimal diet before the conflict-driven price rises.
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.
The Central America Dry Corridor experiences both high climate variability and conflict. Â鶹ÊÓƵ and CGIAR conducted a study to better understand how the region¡¯s climate, socio-economic and political risks are linked to each other.
Ethiopia experiences both high climate variability and conflict. Â鶹ÊÓƵ and CGIAR conducted a study to better understand how the country¡¯s climate, socio-economic and political risks are linked to each other.
The conflict in Ukraine has plunged global food and energy markets into turmoil, raising high food prices even further. These increases, once passed on to domestic markets, will limit people¡¯s access to food. They will simultaneously increase operational costs for Â鶹ÊÓƵ, constraining its response at a time when people need it most.
An overview of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s role as the world¡¯s leading humanitarian organization both saving and changing lives in the year it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
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.
The joint Â鶹ÊÓƵ-IOM report highlights the close interconnection between hunger, conflict, migration and displacement, which has been further aggravated by COVID-19. The study explores the impact of the pandemic on the livelihoods, food security and protection of migrant workers households dependent on remittances and the forcibly displaced. Using the latest available data, the report highlights food security trends in some of the major migration and hunger hotspots across the world. The key findings have informed joint recommendations put forward by both agencies to mitigate the immediate negative effects on mobile and displaced populations, while preparing the pathway to recovery.
This joint SIPRI-Â鶹ÊÓƵ report, based on field research in El Salvador, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan and Mali, looks at whether Â鶹ÊÓƵ's work is contributing to improving the prospects of peace.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) Myanmar Country Office (CO) commissioned a mid-term evaluation of its relief food and cash assistance for conflict-affected people.
This operational tool aims to support Country Offices to do a rapid conflict analysis, identify potential conflict risks associated with the COVID-19 response and possible mitigation measures when designing and implementing activities.
The single greatest challenge to achieving Zero Hunger is armed conflict. War leads to greater food insecurity. And, in its turn, food insecurity increases the chances of unrest and violence.
This Synthesis of Operations Evaluations for the East and Central Africa Region brings together the findings of seven operations evaluations, conducted from mid-2013 to mid-2017.
