In this report, we refer to the 2010-2012 events as “severe food insecurity and famine.” Although imperfect, this term encompasses famine, while also capturing regions and periods of time that were not classified as being in a state of famine, but nonetheless experienced extraordinary food insecurity stress, as well as other adverse conditions, such as reduced access to humanitarian assistance, that would plausibly result in abnormally high levels of mortality. The study provides estimates of overall and excess mortality over a period of 19 months between October 2010 and April 2012 during which time severe food insecurity and famine conditions prevailed.

Occasionally, FEWS NET will publish a Special Report that serves to provide an in-depth analysis of food security issues of particular concern that are not covered in FEWS NET’s regular monthly reporting. These reports may focus on a specific factor driving food security outcomes anywhere in the world during a specified period of time. For example, in 2019, FEWS NET produced a Special Report on widespread flooding in East Africa and its associated impacts on regional food security.
