Natural Disasters
This paper makes the case for why safety nets are an important tool for managing the risk of natural hazards. The use of safety nets is advocated both ex ante, to prevent and mitigate the impact of natural disaster and ex post, to cope with the impacts of natural shocks. Firstly, the paper explores the implications of contextual factors to be taken into account in the design of an effective safety net system to respond to the needs generated by n…

Drought and Sub-Saharan African Economies
Droughts are frequent and severe in many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and have a devastating impact on their peoples and economies. The extreme vulnerability to rainfall in the arid and semiarid areas of the continent and the poor capacity of most African soils to retain moisture result in almost 60 percent of SSA being vulnerable to drought and 30 percent being extremely vulnerable. Since the 1960s, rainfall in parts of the Sahel and So…

Global Hunger and Food Security after the World Food Summit
Organized by FAO, the World Food Summit—twelfth international conference held under United Nations auspices since 1990—took place in November 1996 in an atmosphere of widespread skepticism. Over two decades after the 1974 World Food Conference, the Summit's Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food Summit Plan of Action substantively reaffirmed the international community's commitment to eradicate hunger affecting more than 800 m…

The Impact of Drought on Sub-Saharan African Economies
Drought shocks can have potentially large, but highly differentiated economy?wide impacts, depending on the structure and resource endowments of an economy. Counter?intuitively, drought shocks have the greatest economy?wide impact in countries at intermediate rather than early stages of development. This has important policy implications for the appropriateness of various drought relief and mitigation measures in different economies. Resumé L'imp…

The Role of Socio-Economic Data in Food Needs Assessment and Monitoring
This paper reviews six case studies examined as part of a project to review targetting methodologies employed by non-government organisations in Africa during the 1984-6 food crisis. Most agencies have not yet fully evaluated the role of data in informing policy decisions during their respective emergency programmes. The case studies presented reflect a wide variety of approaches to targetting emergency food aid that are based largely on the use …

The African food crisis of 1982-1986
The crisis cannot be attributed to any one cause, but rather it was the product of a number of interacting factors whose precise combination varied between countries. Drought, internal political and economic factors and an unfavourable external economic environment were significant contributory factors. Civil war and externally financed insurgency were primarily responsible for propelling a food crisis into a famine in four out of the six worst a…
Food aid and food crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper documents the rapid expansion and changes in food aid flows to Sub-Saharan Africa up to mid-1985.Trends for Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole and for the more seriously affected countries are examined, as are the comparative experiences of food aid of individual countries in the region. Table 11 lists the Sub-Saharan African countries and indicates the most seriously affected food-short countries, as defined by the WFP/FAO task force.It sh…
