This is a joint IFPRI-WFP study on the drivers, profile, and risks of irregular migration in the West Africa context.

Founded by the European Union, FAO and WFP at the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit, the Global Network Against Food Crises is an alliance of humanitarian and development actors working together to prevent, prepare for, and respond to food crises and

By mid-2022, the magnitude and severity of acute food insecurity in countries with available data reached alarming levels, but data gaps continued to obscure the full picture.

By mid-2022, the population facing the three highest phases of acute food insecurity was greater than at any point in the six-year history of the Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC).

The GRFC 2020 reported the highest global number of acutely food-insecure people on record.

The number of people in crisis or worse in 2019 was the highest in the four years of the GRFC's existence, reflecting worsening acute food insecurity and the growing severity of drought and economic shocks as drivers.

The Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC), released annually, provides a consensus-based view of the numbers of people in urgent need of assistance for food, nutrition and livelihood support at the worst point during the previous year.

Nominal cereal prices in Ethiopia in July 2019 were significantly higher than the year before – maize prices had risen by 32 percent; sorghum by 39 percent; teff by 35 percent; and wheat by 2 percent.

Data from 996 Ethiopian households...

The Global Report on Food Crises is accepted as the reference document on the latest estimates of acute hunger in the world.

We present results of model simulations of maize, wheat, and sorghum yields in Ethiopia through 2085.

This research note evaluates Ethiopia’s demographic shift over the last four decades while also evaluating potential urbanization trends 20 years into the future.1 Propelling Ethiopia’s urban growth is new secondary city development, ongoing popul

In the transformation of agri-food systems in developing countries, we usually see rapid changes in the livestock sector. However, good data for clearly understanding this transformation are often lacking, especially so in Africa.

Credit markets are key instruments by which liquidity constrained smallholder farmers may finance productivity investments.

Agricultural GDP in Ethiopia grew at an average 7.3 percent per year between 2001/02 and 2012/13.

Increases in cereal prices can have adverse effects on poor net food buyers. This is a particular problem in Ethiopia because of frequent natural calamities – especially droughts – that lead to significant price hikes.

Economists typically default to the assumption that cash is always preferable to an in-kind transfer. We extend the classic Southworth (1945) framework to predict under what conditions this assumption holds.
