00:01 In 2022,
00:03 as 250 million people faced food crises,
00:07 the G7 presidency and the World Bank Group
00:10 came together to launch the Global Alliance for Food Security.
00:15 Mobilizing a swift,
00:16 coordinated response to the growing global hunger crisis.
00:21 Working alongside international partners,
00:24 we transformed food and nutrition security data systems
00:28 by introducing advanced country level assessment and prediction tools.
00:35 The World Food Security Outlook was developed to
00:38 enhance understanding of global food and nutrition security,
00:42 using machine learning to analyze data from various sources and
00:46 project food security up to 6 years in advance.
00:51 Instead of waiting for crises to emerge,
00:54 we can now utilize these insights to
00:56 proactively address and mitigate potential impacts.
01:00 Additionally,
01:01 we've created tools to monitor prices of key
01:04 household items and unofficial exchange rates in real time
01:08 across many locations.
01:10 This aids in understanding rapid changes in food and fuel affordability
01:15 and identifying areas of urgent need.
01:19 Furthermore,
01:20 second layer monitoring tools like the Joint Monitoring Report
01:24 provide in-depth insights into complex,
01:27 conflict affected areas.
01:30 These innovations aim to provide precise,
01:32 timely and actionable food and nutrition security data
01:37 to guide World Bank programming and partner actions,
01:40 setting a new standard in global food and nutrition security analysis.
01:46 Join the fight against hunger.
