Sophie Chotard on the Global Food Security Dashboard

timestamp

00:09 We are confronted with major food and nutrition crises which

00:12 are unfolding before our eyes and becoming more unpredictable.

00:16 At the same time,

00:17 we see many crises that have been persisting for years and years

00:21 with no end in sight.

00:23 The international community's capacity to provide an appropriate response

00:27 to this crisis is entrenched in our ability to understand

00:31 the magnitude and the severity of the problem,

00:34 what drives those crises,

00:35 and who are the most.

00:36 Affected,

00:37 we see that conflict,

00:39 weather extremes,

00:40 and economic shocks,

00:41 and in particular rising food prices continue to be

00:44 the major drivers of food insecurity and malnutrition,

00:48 but we also have to deal increasingly with the impact of crises

00:52 in other parts of the world that have a global dimension.

00:56 And affect vulnerable populations in fragile contexts.

01:00 We all know that

01:02 acting early

01:04 before the situation further deteriorates is not only more cost effective

01:09 than implementing an emergency response,

01:11 but it also helps preserve people's self-reliance

01:14 and dignity.

01:15 Timely action is even.

01:17 Critical

01:18 when the situation deteriorates rapidly

01:20 and it is no longer a matter of preserving people's livelihoods,

01:24 but also about saving their lives and preventing a famine.

01:28 But for this to happen,

01:29 we need to have access to the affected population

01:31 so we can track how the situation evolves on the ground

01:35 and agree on the extent of the need.

01:38 What is fundamental in this process is to be able

01:40 to provide an analysis that is based on evidence,

01:44 and that's one of the primary objectives

01:46 of the integrated Food Security Phase classification,

01:49 the IPC,

01:50 which brings together technical experts from UN agencies,

01:53 NGOs and governments

01:55 to conduct evidence and consensus-based analysis on

01:58 the food security and nutrition situation,

02:01 and the findings from this analysis feed into

02:04 the GAFFS dashboard.

02:06 The major value of the GAFFS dashboard

02:08 is that it makes the latest IPC findings together with

02:12 the wide range of data accessible to a wider audience

02:16 to provide a comprehensive picture of the food security and nutrition situation

02:21 at the global

02:22 and the country level.

02:24 And with the same dashboard,

02:25 you also get to track where the funding goes.

02:29 So connecting the two,

02:30 the situation analysis on one hand

02:33 and the resources to respond to crises on the other

02:36 in the same platform,

02:37 facilitate decision making

02:39 among those who are involved in responding

02:42 to the needs of the affected population

02:44 in a context of ever increasing needs and limited resources.

02:48 The gas dashboard plays a key role in providing the evidence to ensure

02:55 agile,

02:55 appropriate,

02:56 and coordinated response,

02:58 not only

02:59 to alleviate human suffering,

03:01 but also to provide long-lasting solutions

03:04 to enhance people's resilience and prevent future crises.

We are confronted with major food and nutrition crises which are unfolding before our eyes and becoming more unpredictable. At the same time, we see many crises that have been persisting for years and years with no end in sight. The international community's capacity to provide an appropriate response to this crisis is entrenched in our ability to understand the magnitude and the severity of the problem, what drives those crises, and who are the most. Affected, we see that conflict, weather extremes, and economic shocks, and in particular rising food prices continue to be the major drivers of food insecurity and malnutrition, but we also have to deal increasingly with the impact of crises in other parts of the world that have a global dimension. And affect vulnerable populations in fragile contexts. We all know that acting early before the situation further deteriorates is not only more cost effective than implementing an emergency response, but it also helps preserve people's self-reliance and dignity. Timely action is even. Critical when the situation deteriorates rapidly and it is no longer a matter of preserving people's livelihoods, but also about saving their lives and preventing a famine. But for this to happen, we need to have access to the affected population so we can track how the situation evolves on the ground and agree on the extent of the need. What is fundamental in this process is to be able to provide an analysis that is based on evidence, and that's one of the primary objectives of the integrated Food Security Phase classification, the IPC, which brings together technical experts from UN agencies, NGOs and governments to conduct evidence and consensus-based analysis on the food security and nutrition situation, and the findings from this analysis feed into the GAFFS dashboard. The major value of the GAFFS dashboard is that it makes the latest IPC findings together with the wide range of data accessible to a wider audience to provide a comprehensive picture of the food security and nutrition situation at the global and the country level.

The gas dashboard plays a key role in providing the evidence to ensure agile, appropriate, and coordinated response, not only to alleviate human suffering, but also to provide long-lasting solutions to enhance people's resilience and prevent future crises.
