Briefing Paper - ACF International Network Feeding Hunger and Insecurity The Global Food Price Crisis
Description

The ACF International Network provides a summary of ACF research in Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Liberia regarding feeding hunger and insecurity. These assessments revealed that the high cost of food in 2008 did not conclusively result in an immediate increase in acute malnutrition1 at the national level, but had a significant and consistent impact on livelihoods and dietary diversity in all four countries.
