The Global Network against Food Crises (GNAFC) initiative was launched in Istanbul at the WHS in May 2016 as the "Global Network for Food Insecurity, Risk Reduction and Food Crises Response" with the objective of enhancing the impact of future responses to food crises at the global level by regularly producing, in real time, joint reports based on key analyses. WFP and FAO, jointly with other Network's members intend to strengthen a decision support mechanism to inform food crises response and prevention at all levels. The Global Food Security Cluster (gFSC) under the EU funded partnership programme supporting the 'Global Network Against Food Crisis", will prompt coordination among stakeholders and promote joint planning and coordinated responses to food crises. In addition, this programme intends to improve capacities to learn from past crises as well as increase the level of transparency and availability of crucial analyses of global needs.
