World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

A series of shocks affected Egypt in 2011, including internal civil disturbances, the rise of food prices and a massive return of migrants from Libya. A review of secondary data was conducted to update the knowledge on the food security situation in Egypt, identify information gaps and support decision-making on food security interventions.

This vulnerability analysis report updates and expands the 2005 analysis conducted in Egypt, providing a reliable resource for the Egyptian government, donors and other interested parties in the design of policies, strategies and programmes.
