Resumen
Descripción
The Horn of Africa is among the most food-insecure regions globally, with a large portion of its population experiencing multidimensional poverty, chronic hunger, and malnutrition. Recent reports estimate that approximately one-third of the population is undernourished. It is essential to build strong internal capacity to coordinate, facilitate, and share data and information on programs and action plans aimed at addressing both chronic and acute hunger in the region, both in the short and long term. Addressing food security and building resilience in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region of Eastern Africa requires integrated, coordinated approaches, evidence-based interventions, and strong partnerships – all of which are currently lacking. This project was designed to fill these gaps by focusing on strengthening the institutional capacity of IGAD’s Food Security and Resilience Analysis Hub (IFRAH). Improving food security and resilience are complex, multi-dimensional issues that demand coordinated efforts. Policies, responses, and development interventions targeting food security and resilience must be supported by credible, timely information products, effective coordination, strong partnerships, and consensus among strategic partners and Member States. This project aimed to support IFRAH overcome some of these core challenges by strengthening its institutional capacity, with a focus on three key outputs: identifying and addressing IFRAH’s primary capacity needs; implementing the IGAD Regional Platform (IGAD-RP); and enhancing IFRAH’s networks for resource mobilization.
