WEBINAR 30/11/2016 THE EXPERIENCE OF THE GLOBAL NETWORK

AGAINST FOOD CRISES FOR STRENGTHENING RESILIENCE

Bernard ReyEuropean Commission Directorate Sustainable Growth and DevelopmentFood and Nutrition Security Unit

Genesis of the (EU) assessment Evidence-based political decision for food crises related

programming and fund allocation Need for a coherent and exhaustive (as much as possible)

picture of food crises at a given period; No automatic trigger response mechanism

Move forward the resilience agenda (Resilience Communication of Resilience, 2012)

Why a global analysis

Global decisions for programming and fund allocation; Considering all shocks with an impact on FNS at the same time

Climatic shocks, namely the El Niño impact Armed conflicts and political unrests Refugees in host countries Epidemics, like Ebola virus disease Socioeconomic vulnerability – chronic food insecurity Market failures

Look at short and long-term trends Focus on root causes/ resilience building, bridging emergency and

development actions

Approach 2016

Needs assessment in terms of food-insecure population

Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) as a reference for

levels of food insecurity

Data from a wide range of sources

Joint analysis of the final data by EC, WFP and FAO

The first report was published by the EU.

2016 report limitations Static analysis (as in January 2016); No projection for the coming months; Limited geo coverage; Quality of data varies from country to country; Methods to estimate food insecurity prevalence not homogenous –

maximum effort made to reconcile data across countries but discrepancies subsist;

EU report isn't yet a public good;

The report was "good enough", to be improved through the Global Network

10

Opportunity for promoting a public good A global analysis of food crises shared by stakeholders do not

exist yet The global assessment could be of interest for different

stakeholders for different uses Coherent with the WHS in Istanbul (invest in data analysis,

independent assessments, joint assessments…) Neutral analysis Further possible developments besides the analysis

Joint response analysis Joint planning Joint implementation

11

Added value of a Global Network

Produces a consensus based shared needs analysis;

Promotes shared response analysis;

Enhance partnership, coordination and collaboration;

Promote joint planning;

Pave the way for joint implementation of response;

Promotes political level coordination;

How the EU used the results of the Global Assessment in 2016 Global response not only related to El Niño

Total EU contribution about €550 million• Emergency and short-term response €302

million • Development and long-term €245.5 million

17

Membership of the Global Assessment• Network of Networks, based on existing analytical processes, no

duplication of analyses

• Confirmed participantsFAO, WFP, UNICEF, EU, FEWS-NET, CILSS, IGAD, SICA

• Institutions already contacted, which interest is to be confirmed SADC, CEMAC, ASEAN, EU Member States

18

Membership of the Global Network

?• To be discussed with partners of the global assessment;• No concrete steps so far; • doors opened.

On-going steps

To be a public good the Global Network requires:

Technical improvement of the assessment• Enhancing report quality through technical

consultations

Political impulse to the network• Enlarging participation to the global analysis from

stakeholders at global level besides the EU, FAO and WFP

Overview of food crises2017 Report country coverage

In-depth analysis of major food crises2017 Report country coverage

Key messages from the EU

• Large involvement of stakeholders

• Calendar of the assessment

• Synergy and subsidiarity with existing analysis

• Global assessment (tech) vs global network (pol)

• Global AND local level coordination
