Enhancing refugees’ self-reliance in Uganda
Social protection transfers are the most widespread measures adopted to stabilize refugee households’ livelihoods and alleviate their food insecurity. This paper contributes to the literature on the effectiveness of different types of support on livelihoods and productivity outcomes of one of the largest refugee populations in Africa. Taking advantage of a unique panel dataset representative of the largest part of the 1.4 million people hosted in the Uganda refugees’ settlements, this paper investigates how different social protection interventions (cash and food) are effective in alleviating food insecurity and in contributing to beneficiaries’ self-reliance. The results show that the effectiveness of transfers depends on beneficiaries’ characteristics, on context specificity, and on the outcome assessed.
The State of Food and Agriculture 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of agrifood systems to shocks and stresses and led to increased global food insecurity and malnutrition. Action is needed to make agrifood systems more resilient, efficient, sustainable and inclusive. The State of Food and Agriculture 2021 presents country-level indicators of the resilience of agrifood systems. The indicators measure the robustness of primary production and food availability, as well as physical and economic access to food. They can thus help assess the capacity of national agrifood systems to absorb shocks and stresses, a key aspect of resilience. The report analyses the vulnerabilities of food supply chains and how rural households cope with risks and shocks. It discusses options to minimize trade-offs that building resilience may have with efficiency and inclusivity. The aim is to offer guidance on policies to enhance food supply chain resilience, support livelihoods in the agrifood system and, in the face of disruption, ensure sustainable access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to all.
2021年粮食及农业状况
COVID-19疫情暴露了农业粮食体系在遭受冲击和压力时的不堪一击，同时还加剧了全球粮食不安全和营养不良。全世界亟需采取行动，提高农业粮食体系的韧性、效率、可持续性和包容性。 《2021年粮食及农业状况》提出了国家层面的农业粮食体系韧性指标。这些指标旨在衡量初级生产和粮食供应的稳健程度，以及在物质上和经济上获取粮食的机会；因此，有助于评估国家农业粮食体系消化冲击和压力的能力 — 这也是评估韧性的关键方面。 本报告分析了粮食供应链的脆弱性以及农村家庭如何应对风险和冲击。建设韧性可能与提高效率和包容性之间存在各种权衡取舍。报告讨论了最大限度减少这种取舍的备选方案，以便为政策制定者提供指导，加强粮食供应链的韧性，支持农业粮食体系的生计，并在面临冲击时，确保所有人可持续获得充足、安全、有营养的食物。

La situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2021
La pandémie de covid-19 a fait apparaître au grand jour la vulnérabilité des systèmes agroalimentaires face aux chocs et aux situations de stress et entraîné une augmentation de l’insécurité alimentaire et de la malnutrition au niveau mondial. Des mesures doivent être prises pour rendre les systèmes agroalimentaires plus résilients, plus efficients, plus durables et plus inclusifs. L’édition 2021 de La Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture présente des indicateurs de la résilience des systèmes agroalimentaires au niveau des pays. Ces indicateurs permettent de mesurer la solidité de la production primaire et des disponibilités alimentaires et l’a...
El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2021
La pandemia de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) puso de manifiesto la vulnerabilidad de los sistemas agroalimentarios a las perturbaciones y tensiones y dio lugar a una mayor inseguridad alimentaria y malnutrición a nivel mundial. Es necesario adoptar medidas para lograr que los sistemas agroalimentarios sean más resilientes, eficientes, sostenibles e inclusivos. EL ESTADO MUNDIAL DE LA AGRICULTURA Y LA ALIMENTACION 2021 presenta indicadores a nivel nacional de la resiliencia de los sistemas agroalimentarios. Los indicadores miden la solidez de la producción primaria y la disponibilidad de alimentos, así como el acceso físico y económico a los mismos. Por tanto, estos indicador...

Refugee-host proximity and market creation in Uganda
Uganda currently hosts more than 1.4 million refugees and the relationship with the host population is complex. In this paper, we investigate the effect of the interactions between refugee and host-communities by using a unique dataset and by exploring a broad range of economic outcomes – such as employment opportunities, sources of income, agriculture production, and enterprises. We use the distance between refugee and host communities to measure the degree of interaction. To deal with potential endogeneity issues, we adopt an instrumental variable approach and carry out several robustness tests. We find positive effects on individual participation in paid employment and on household wage income. Discarding the role of assistance, we suggest that these positive effects can be driven by refugees’ economic activities. However, the market creation is localized.

Climbing up the ladder and watching out for the fall: Poverty dynamics in rural Bangladesh
This paper analyzes poverty dynamics in rural Bangladesh using a nationally representative panel dataset of 5,260 rural households interviewed in 2011/12 and 2015. We find that education, savings, assets, non-farm employment, substantial safety net transfers, and women’s empowerment are key factors in breaking persistent poverty; and savings, non-farm engagement, and substantial safety net transfers prevent households from falling into poverty. The results are consistent across multinomial logit, logit, and simultaneous quantile regression models. Thus, policies and programs that address the determinants of persistent and transient poverty identified in this study hold promise for sustained poverty reduction in rural Bangladesh.
