United Nations – World Bank Group Partnership in Crisis-Affected Situations – monitoring report 2022

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Highlights:

The report provides an overview of joint work on four priority themes across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus over a period covering July 2020 to June 2022 (FY20–22). These include addressing drivers of fragility and conflict, forced displacement, food security, and partnerships between the development and peace and security actors. The objective is to highlight examples of strategic and operational collaboration between the UN and WBG in specific crisis-affected contexts.

On food security, collaboration was reported in more than 20 countries, ranging from Afghanistan to Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, DRC, Haiti, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, with work centering around food assistance and nutrition support, increased local food production, improved storage capacity and livestock, data collection, early warning, locust response, provision of integrated safety nets, and cash programming.

Three case studies are features in this report as country-level collaboration examples:

  1. Support for smallholder farmers in Afghanistan;
  2. Enhancing Yemen’s capacity to respond to food insecurity;
  3. Stepping up the fight against food and nutrition insecurity in the Central African Republic.
