Funded by the European Union, FAO through Strengthening Food Security Information and Early Warning Systems Project has launched an initiative to establish an Early Warning System in collaboration with government authorities. The programme has invested heavily to boost its monitoring network through rehabilitation of 41 weather stations and installation of 8 new Automatic weather stations (AWS) and one marine station in selected locations throughout the country to ensure availability of near real time data in support of early warning for early action. The project aimed at Improving Food Security and Nutrition Governance for decision making at national and Governorate levels, and future plans include systematization and expansion of the scope of the current Early Warning System to include food and nutrition security to ensure generation of holistic information utilizing socio-economic factors.
