The EC-FAO Food Security Information for Action Programme, which provides 20 countries subject to chronic food insecurity, protracted crises or undergoing rapid economic transformation with the technical assistance and tools to obtain high-quality, timely food security information to formulate more effective anti-hunger policies, has launched a new Web site.
Among the site's features is a Food Security Analysis toolkit, which provides access to tools for early warning, food insecurity and vulnerability mapping, conducting nutritional surveys, harmonizing statistical databases, needs assessments, policy analysis and formulation and more.
The site also includes a distance learning course and training materials aimed at improving the collection, management, analysis and dissemination of food security information to improve decision-making. Food security news and alerts, as well as best practice case studies, are also available.
