Publication Objectives
This food security monitoring publication, which is jointly published by the Egyptian Cabinet’s Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC) and WFP, systematically tracks trends in the production, consumption and prices of key food commodities and their impact on the food security1 situation of the vulnerable households in urban and rural areas across Egypt. It identifies emerging local and global issues and monitors trends that can affect food security in Egypt. Aimed at policy makers and development partners, this publication seeks to provide updates and analysis of Egypt’s food security situation to assist its audience in policy decision-making.
Initially released monthly, the publication is now being produced quarterly to better highlight longer-term changes in the food security situation of the country and provide more comprehensive analysis to decision makers.
