What works to improve nutrition and food security in the Sahel?

„ „ The poor quality and lack of monitoring and evaluation data are problematic in all four contexts due to limited synergies among humanitarian agencies collecting similar data. The food security and nutrition situation in the Sahel continues to deteriorate, with over 24 million people in need of emergency food assistance. Droughts and conflicts have left the region chronically food insecure, particularly during the lean season, when reliance on food aid increases. Acute malnutrition in the Sahel affects an estimated 6 million children under the age of five, and approximately 1.4 million of these children require treatment for severe acute malnutrition.
