Report of the Ad Hoc expert group meeting on population, agriculture and environment

The main thrusts of ECA's work is to address this intractable problem of food insecurity particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, by advocating policy responses which address the cluster of issues emanating from the synergetic interactions among Africa's current demographic, agricultural and environmental trends that bring to bear on food security. In this connection, the Commission has been assisting its Member States to enhance their capacities to better design their food security policies, strategies and programs. In continuation of these efforts, the Commission wants to help the countries to measure more accurately and monitor with greater reliability using realistic, acceptable and accurate approaches and indicators, their food security situation on a regular basis. It is in this light that the Sustainable Development Division of ECA has planned, within its 2002- 2003 work program, to undertake a study and prepare a report on “The State of food security in Africa" which would contribute to the development of a methodological framework and indices for measuring the state of food security in Africa.
