The crisis we can still avert
By September of 2022, the global food crisis had gotten so extreme that 205.1 million people urgently need humanitarian food assistance just to survive. Tragically, if we do nothing, the crisis could grow by another 620.9 million people in the next 6 months. That is the crisis we can still avert. Investing in food production, increasing resilience, and functioning markets can stave off this crisis if we act fast.
A recent report from Gro Intelligence and CRU Group estimates that the impacts from the Ukraine crisis on nitrogen fertilizer availability in the global agriculture system will lead to a total loss of 72 trillion calories of food produced in 2022 alone. That loss would cause 620.9 million MORE people who are already struggling to meet their basic food needs to lose at least one more meal a day for the next 6 months. This is the crisis that is coming—growing the current crisis by more than three times higher the 205.1 million people already experiencing food crisis.
Gender inequality will play a significant role in this crisis. Based on current trends in gender equality and food security, 332.8 million of these people will be women. That means 44.7 million more women than men could miss one meal a day for the next 6 months. Women could miss 8.5 billion more meals than men.
This is not a foregone conclusion. We can still act to prevent the worst of the crisis. The number of calories lost is only part of the story. Food insecurity is as much as story of inequality as it is of food production. Read More...

Making the Invisible Visible – An evidence-based analysis of gender in the regional response to the war in Ukraine
The escalation of the war in Ukraine began on 24 February 2022, causing thousands of civilian casualties; destroying civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, and triggering the fastest growing displacement crisis in Europe since World War II. The demographic profile of Ukraine, combined with the implementation of martial law and conscription policies, led to an awareness of gender- and age-related factors within the regional humanitarian response that recognised the pre-crisis situation of persons of all genders and diversities and how the war and subsequent regional crise s were compounding the risks that they face.
From the early days of the response, Rapid Gender Analyses (RGA) and other analyses and assessments were conducted, and the Regional Gender Task Force (RGTF) recognised the emergence of common themes and concerns within these that required a closer examination. It was identified that the solutions to the concerns identified required national, regional and cross-border solutions rooted in broad changes in policy and the humanitarian architecture. However, at the time, gender themes, including trends, gaps and specific challenges faced by women and men belonging to different socio-economic and ethnic groups, across the
humanitarian and refugee response in the region had not been captured adequately. Read More...

CARE Rwanda, Digital CARE Package Project Baseline Report
CARE has designed an end-to-end Digital CARE Package that combines a suite of proven and high-potential interventions with the economies of scale represented by VSLAs to elevate women’s digital inclusion. The VSLA Digital CARE Package (DCP) will deliver pre-loaded smartphones to Voluntary Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) alongside digital skills building and interventions that engage men and boys to shift restrictive gender norms. The approach will be adapted based on group characteristics and needs. In Rwanda, the program started implementation in May 2022.
The baseline survey employed quantitative survey approach using individual questionnaire. The study sample was 300 VSLA members selected from of 50 VSLAs of which 20 VSLAs from those using Chomoka and 30 from VSLA supported by Gender and Women Economic Empowermnt Program (GEWEP III) and DEAL projects in 3 districts of Nyanza, Huye and Ruhango, all in the southern province of Rwanda. Both purposive and random sampling techniques were used to allow each VSLA member to have the same probability of being chosen at any stage during the sampling process but also have women and members in management committee represented. In total, 291 respondents were interviewed (74% female and 26% male) Read More...
