After Ouagadougou, Abidjan, Brussels and Milano, we are pleased to celebrate the 2016 edition of the Sahel and West Africa Week in Abuja, Nigeria. Placed under the political and technical leadership of ECOWAS, UEMOA and CILSS, the 32nd annual meeting of the Food Crisis Prevention Network (RPCA) will place strong emphasis on the region’s food and nutrition challenges. This event comes at a timely moment as Nigeria has made important headway in rolling out the
Cadre harmonisé. For the first time, this consensual and regionally comparable analysis of vulnerable areas and the number of people at risk for food and nutrition insecurity was conducted in 16 out of 36 Nigerian states, covering almost half of the country. We hope that the remaining states will quickly build capacity to soon include all of Nigeria.
