Resilience of Food Systems, Food and Nutrition Security
Resilience of Food Systems, Food and Nutrition Security
Overview
Food systems resilience in ECOWAS is closely tied to the stability of pastoral and livestock systems, which continue to face climate stress, insecurity, mobility restrictions, and disease pressure.
Strengthening coordinated regional systems for prevention, surveillance, and crisis response remains essential to protect vulnerable livelihoods and preserve food and nutrition security outcomes.

Key regional priorities

- Animal disease outbreaks and disruptions to pastoral mobility reduce household access to food and income safety nets.
- Operational coordination and response capacity need strengthening to absorb and recover from repeated food-system stresses.
