The assessment of the response to the 2021 food crisis was also presented and discussed, including specific measures to address the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Given the security situation, Network members have deepened their reflection on the theme "Women, conflicts and food and nutrition issues".

Finally, participants took stock of several of the Network's topics dedicated to the consolidation of regional governance of food and nutrition security.
