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
(12/16/2002)
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.
GM food aid dossier
(10/28/2002)
Attention increasingly focuses on diplomatic wrangling over whether the recipients of aid should accept unsegregrated genetically modified grain.
UNICEF update
(10/24/2002)
The United Nations Children's Fund's 23 October update on the crisis.
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
