The report features an analysis of the external financing to the food sectors to all 55 countries and territories with food crises as identified by the 2021 Global Report on Food Crises. It presents a quantitative and neutral analysis of trends of the humanitarian and development assistance to food sectors globally, regionally, and nationally between 2016 and 2020 alongside data on acute food insecurity. It contains: a global overview of external financing flows to all 55 countries and territories with food crises; the regional perspective; and an in-depth analysis of countries that comprise the majority of the global population in acute food insecurity. The report was developed by the Technical Support Unit (TSU) of the Global Network Against Food Crises in collaboration with Development Initiatives. The development of the report was made possible through the financial contribution of the European Union.
