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.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ in Western Africa has been supporting governments in their efforts to build nationally led social protection systems across the region, focusing on their ability to help people manage risks and shocks, all the while contributing to food security and improved nutrition. This present newsletter provides a few highlights into this work in 2021, without providing a comprehensive overview.
In partnership with the Government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Â鶹ÊÓƵ continues to provide monthly food assistance to meet urgent food and nutritional needs of over 42,000 refugees and asylum-seekers in Dzaleka Refugee Camp.
