FAO-WFP early warning analysis of acute food insecurity hotspots
This report is part of a series of analytical products produced under the <a href="http://www.fightfoodcrises.net/">Global Network Against Food Crises</a> initiative co-led by EU, FAO, and WFP to enhance and coordinate the generation and sharing of evidence‑based information and analysis for preventing and addressing food crises. This FAO-WFP early warning analysis of acute food insecurity hotspots report highlights countries which are at risk of significant food security deterioration and in particular acute hunger and associated malnutrition. The analysis takes into account all major drivers of food insecurity, with a particular focus on the secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a forward-looking perspective, outlining the likely evolution of impacts over the next 6 or so months aiming to inform urgent action to safeguard food security of the most vulnerable communities in these locations. The report is divided into three sections. It firstly includes an overview of the main pathways of secondary impacts of COVID-19 on food security, nutrition, and agriculture. This is followed by regional overviews and a focus on hotspot countries. The last section lists strategic recommendations which should be urgently implemented to avoid a large scale deterioration of acute food insecurity.
