Background
Exploring what causes famine
(01/16/2003)
Floods, drought and conflict are among the many factors contributing to the complexity of widespread famine in Southern Africa, according to this gathering of research undertaken by the Institute of Development Studies over the past two years.
WFP's Africa Hunger Alert campaign

The United Nations World Food Programme's Africa Hunger Alert campaign, is aimed at drawing international attention to the unprecedented crisis gripping the continent where 38 million people face starvation.

Famine 'real and growing'
(09/15/2002)
At the core of the famine threat are drought, poor harvests, lack of resources for long-term health and food security issues, poor political decisions and the effects of global recession.
The UN's role
(08/11/2002)
Wide areas of Southern Africa are in deep crisis as the World Food Programme struggles to ensure adequate supplies in Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Complex causes
