FSIS/FSIN is a national platform to strengthen and improve food security information generation, management, dissemination, sharing and exchange for policy-makers, senior managers and national and states stakeholder groups working in support of food security improvement and sustainable agricultural development.

 FSIS/FSIN of Sudan has been developed (http://FSIS.sudanagriculture.net/) as an integral component in Food Security Policy and Strategy Capacity Building Programme Project of Sudan in which FAORNE facilitated the creation of Food Security Information and Knowledge Sharing System/Network (FSIS/FSIN) in close collaboration and coordination of National Food Security technical secretaries at HQ and states Levels.

FSIS/FSIN has been developed responding to the need for more flexible, reliable, secure and efficient platform for highly connected system for FSIS information availability, applicability, accessibility, dissemination and knowledge/experiences sharing and hoping for creating an enabling environment for strengthening institutionalization and scaling up in the upcoming years in Sudan.  This was accomplished by using participatory, bottom-up, open and distributed approaches with national counterparts.

The ultimate purpose of the FSIS/FSIN project component Activities is to assist Sudan to assess and monitor the food security situation in order to target, design and implement improved food policies and programmes that reflect social aspects of food security – nutrition, food-related health issues, organization and community involvement.

The FSIS/FSIN will be hosted, maintained and operated by the National Data Centre of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology in close collaboration and coordination with The Ministry of Agriculture and Forests, Food Security Technical Secretariat at HQ and States levels.
