dc.descriptionFood insecurity and malnutrition remain a major public health and socioeconomic concern in Africa, particularly in Eastern Africa, which is home to more than half of the continent's undernourished population According to recent estimates, around 28 million people in the region are severely food insecure Fighting against hunger requires strong coordination and institutional capacity, as well as strong political commitment reflected in policy and investments However, the governments of the Horn of Africa suffer from poorly informed and coordinated food security policies and strategies, and from a lack of capacity to address the food and nutrition security poverty migration nexus and to maximize cross sectoral synergies International trade has historically had a favourable impact on food security by connecting areas with low agricultural potential and high population density to areas with agricultural comparative advantages, while also expanding access to a wider range of nutritious food commodities This is reflected in the Framework for Increasing Intra African Trade in Agricultural Goods and Services, which is based on the fifth commitment of the 2014 Malabo Declaration, that aims to triple intra African agricultural trade and services by 2025 Increased trade can contribute to developing long term jobs, income, and livelihoods, as well as strengthening agricultural production and food security on the continent.
