About
FEWS NET analysts, working in more than 35 countries, continuously gather evidence of the current food security situation in areas of concern. They collect data from a variety of sources, including US science agencies, national ministries of trade and agriculture, international organizations, and NGOs. In some countries, FEWS NET also employs networks of monitors to report localized data such as staple food prices and rainfall. Periodically, our staff members collaborate with partners on household surveys as well as joint assessments on issues ranging from crop production to livelihood zoning to market functioning.
