Depuis plus d'une décennie, on a assisté à une augmentation apparemment inexorable du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées, mais les estimations pour 2010, telles qu'elles figurent dans la présente édition de L'état de l'insécurité alimentaire dans le monde, laissent entrevoir une faible lueur d'espoir, en annonçant la première baisse depuis 1995. Il n'empêche que près d'un milliard de personnes souffrent encore de la faim et il est trop tôt pour savoir s'il s'agit du début d'une tendance à la baisse, ou d'un simple fléchissement momentané du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées.

The 2010 edition of the National Statistics publication Statistics on International Development produced by the Department for International Development (DFID) was published on 7th October 2010 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

Description

DFID has released final details of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) for calendar year 2009 in the 2010 edition of Statistics on International Development (SID). This includes the final estimate of ODA as proportion of Gross National Income (GNI)

Hundreds of thousands of women die every year in childbirth or from pregnancy-related causes. Virtually all of these maternal deaths occur in poor countries. In order to reduce maternal deaths and improve the overall life chances of poor mothers, policy and programs must address poverty and gender inequality, two inter-related, root causes of maternal death.

This paper examines the ways in which poverty and gender inequality impact maternal mortality by creating barriers to maternal healthcare access and utilization. It also analyzes strategies

As the world approaches the 2015 deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)-which include a goal of reducing the proportion of hungry people by half-the 2010 Global Hunger Index (GHI) offers a useful multidimensional overview of global hunger. The 2010 GHI is the fifth in an annual series that records the state of global, regional, and national hunger. The 2010 GHI shows some improvement over the 1990 GHI, falling by almost one-quarter, but overall the index for hunger in the world remains at a level characterized as serious.

The GHI captures three dimensions of

Preliminary Draft
This paper argues that food security and human development are intricately linked, and that
meaningful progress on the one cannot be sustained without concomitant progress on the other. The
paper surveys recent research on various aspects of the linkages between food security and human
development and highlights areas where further research would enrich our understanding of the
complex interactions and synergies between the two. It concludes by calling for a more systematic
investigation of the human development-food

Tras más de una década de incremento aparentemente inexorable del número de personas subnutridas, las cifras correspondientes a 2010 presentadas en la presente edición de El estado de la inseguridad alimentaria en el mundo muestran un pequeño rayo de esperanza con el primer descenso desde 1995. No obstante, todavía existen cerca de 1 000 millones de personas que pasan hambre y es demasiado pronto para saber si estamos ante el comienzo de una tendencia a la baja o si solamente es un descenso temporal del número de personas subnutridas.
