It doesn’t get easier: addressing the “new” hunger Michael Hess USAID Assistant Administrator International Food Aid Conference Kansas City, 2008

Better Data: Who’s really eating, buying, moving, or selling food? Need to know how many people live where, at the lowest level.

Better information is available

Who is the market? Prices only tell us so much: very little. We need to understand the sub-national and regional structure, conduct and performance of markets and trade.

From learning to action We used to monitor Niger’s food prices only in Niger. Then we thought we should monitor the huge market in Kano, Nigeria. Now we know we can monitor prices in 5 markets south of Niger to have a window on Niger market prices.

Improved Needs Assessments/Targeting with Livelihoods Information Zoning and profiling Joint efforts with Governments, UN, NGOs Basis for more effective sampling, monitoring, impact estimation

We Will Deliver
