It reviews post-COVID recovery setbacks from conflict, inflation, and currency depreciation, then highlights trends in employment, undernourishment, acute and chronic hunger, and poverty. It calls for coordinated actions, including expanded emergency financing, fiscal space for vulnerable countries, and support for debt relief to protect households from rising food and input costs.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee  \nof the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund  \non the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 12, 2023  \nDC/S/2023-0020 April 12, 2023  \nStatement by  \nDr. Qu Dongyu  \nDirector-General  \nFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations  \nStatement by  \nDr. Qu Dongyu  \nDirector General  \nFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations  \n107th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nApril 12, 2023  \nWashington, DC  \nI am grateful for the opportunity to share the perspective of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on how we can strengthen collaboration with the World Bank Group’s Mission, Operations, and Resources, in line with the mandate ofFAO.  \nAfter partially recovering in 2021 from the COVID-19 pandemic-induced contraction, the hopes for a steady economic recovery in 2022 were hampered by a tide of disruptions linked to ongoing conflicts, the war in Ukraine, tightening of monetary policy to fight surging inflation and a deterioration of financial and currency markets. The combination of a scenario of a sharp slowdown in global growth, high food inflation and currency depreciation has cast a shadow on the prospect of a potential reduction in food insecurity and malnutrition in 2022.  \nOn one hand, the recovery from the global recession is pushing employment up from the low levels registered in 2020. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), global employment slowly rose by 2.3 percent in 2022 from a meager growth in the period 2020 and 2021 of 0.2 percent. Employment growth has expanded faster in low income and lower middle-income countries than in upper middle and high-income countries. Global unemployment also declined significantly in 2022 to 205 million, down from 235 million in 2020, but still above the level in 2019. Even in a context of slow economic growth, higher employment has the potential to increase the income levels of the population and consequently their access to food, and even more it represents the recovery of the income losses that the most vulnerable population endured during the pandemic.  \nOn the other hand, currency depreciation and high food and general inflation has the potential to erode the income levels and restrain access to food. This is particularly true for the poorest segment of the population that spend relatively a higher share of their income on food.  \nIn The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) 2022 Report, FAO simulations (exports shortfalls in grains and oilseeds) suggest that the global number of undernourished in 2022 would slightly increase by 7.6 million people under a moderate shock scenario, and would increase slightly to 13.1 million people above baseline estimates under a more severe shock setting.  \nIn 2022, the number of people in acute food insecurity (IPC level 3+) in 55 countries is expected to rise by 24 percent if compared with 2021. Nine countries faced obvious increases in the number of people in Crisis or worse (IPC level 3+): Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Populations facing Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5): Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Haiti, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. Risks of Famine were rose in 2022 in Somalia and Yemen.  \nChronic hunger is expected to remain at a high level, higher with respect to the pre-COVID-19 time and around the levels observed in 2021. A combination of a slow recovery offset by higher food prices might explain why hunger did not decrease in a significant manner in 2022.  \nModerate or severe chronic food insecurity is also expected to be stalled with respect to 2021, but is at a higher level with respect to 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Africa, moderate food insecurity is expected to rise, in contrast to a decre","cbCaikR3HvQh4z7W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikR3HvQh4z7W","pdf",163347,5,1,4,"English","en",105,"# Development committee statement\n## Macroeconomic shocks and recovery\n## Food insecurity, hunger, and poverty trends\n## Priority actions for World Bank and IMF","[{\"question\":\"What major global factors are discussed as drivers of worsened food insecurity?\",\"answer\":\"Ongoing conflicts, the war in Ukraine, tighter monetary policy to address inflation, and deterioration in financial and currency markets are highlighted as key disruptions affecting food security outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the statement describe the outlook for acute and chronic food insecurity in 2022?\",\"answer\":\"It projects a rise in acute food insecurity (IPC level 3+) across 55 countries and indicates chronic hunger remains at a high level, with limited improvement compared with pre-COVID patterns.\"},{\"question\":\"What priorities does the statement call for from the World Bank and IMF?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for priority action to prevent a global food security crisis by providing vulnerable countries fiscal space, expanding emergency funding and relief, and advancing debt relief and restructuring recommendations.\"}]","Statement by Dr. Qu Dongyu -
