Dear all,

I would like to share with you a FAO publication that might be of interest in the context of our current online discussion.

The publication titled "Africa Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2016: the Challenges of Building Resilience to Shocks and Stresses" introduces a new tool for the understanding of the food security and nutritional status.

This Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) is an experience-based metric of food insecurity severity that relies on people’s direct responses to questions regarding their access to adequate food.

In addition to providing information on this tool, the publication delivers a snapshot of the current situation in Africa and analyses resilience in the context of climate change and conflicts.

You can download the publication in English here: http://bit.ly/2moylep 

All the best
