This joint SIPRI-WFP report, based on field research in El Salvador, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan and Mali, looks at whether WFP's work is contributing to improving the prospects of peace.
World Food Programme (WFP) Myanmar Country Office (CO) commissioned a mid-term evaluation of its relief food and cash assistance for conflict-affected people.
This operational tool aims to support Country Offices to do a rapid conflict analysis, identify potential conflict risks associated with the COVID-19 response and possible mitigation measures when designing and implementing activities.
The single greatest challenge to achieving Zero Hunger is armed conflict. War leads to greater food insecurity. And, in its turn, food insecurity increases the chances of unrest and violence.
Widespread insecurity has left 7.7 million people severely hungry. Villages have been destroyed,
successive harvests have been missed, areas of relative calm have descended into bloodshed,
while refugees stream into neighbouring countries.
The evaluation covers the Afghanistan PRRO 200447 operation "Assistance to Address Food Insecurity and Undernutrition". It was intended for both accountability and learning and focuses on assessing: i) the appropriateness and coherence of the operation; ii) its results; and iii) the factors explaining the results.
