Near East and North Africa Regional Overview of Food Insecurity 2016
Strengthening Regional Collaboration to Build Resilience for Food Security and Nutrition
This year, the world takes stock of progress made towards achieving the 2000–2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In concert with this milestone and, for the first time, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) publishes a Regional Panorama on Food Security and Nutrition in its Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. The goal of the Panorama is to give an overview of NENA’s progress towards the achievement of the MDG and World Food Summit hunger targets, using data from the 2015 edition of FAO’s State of Food Insecurity in the World. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the current situation in the region, viewed through the four dimensions of food security: availability, access, utilization and stability.
