Knowing Better, Responding Worse: How Mistakes from 2008 Led to the Food Crisis of Today
June 6, 2023
This report compares two crises points in humanitarian and food security needs (2008 and 2022), and the international communities funding responses and approaches. CARE generated evidence and program examples, as well as external funding data, show that the 2022 hunger crisis is twice as bad in 2008, but we are not seeing similar urgency and funding scale up—nor are we seeing lessons learned in prioritizing layered, nexus approaches in the response.
