| dc.description | This is the third and final issue in 1998 of this quarterly report prepared by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) on the food supply situation, cereal import and food aid requirements for all countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The report is designed to provide the latest analysis and information on the food situation in these countries to governments, international organizations and other institutions engaged in relief operations. Part I focuses on the looming food c risis in Somalia and the deteriorating food supply situation in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It also highlights the improved food situation in southern Sudan and the continuing need for international food assistance in Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The bleak food outlook for Angola is also underscored, while the need for donor support for local purchases in countries with cereal surpluses in eastern Africa and the Sahel sub-region is brought to the atten tion of the international donor community. A Special Feature gives an overview of the livestock disease situation in eastern Africa and suggests what needs to be done about it. Part II contains an assessment of crop prospects and the food supply situation by sub-region, giving the latest estimates of cereal import and food aid requirements of all four sub-regions of sub-Saharan Africa. | |
