- Description
- Sources Sought, Request for Information, and draft Statement of Work FEWS NET and its precursor activity, the Famine Early Warning System (FEWS), have existed for more than 30 years. Initially created as a response to the 1984/85 famines in the Sahel and Ethiopia, FEWS NET has informed the U.S. Government, as well as international and local partners, about current and future threats to food security in at-risk locations around the globe. Early phases of FEWS focused solely on Africa, but later phases expanded to cover parts of Central America, the Near East, and the Middle East. FEWS NET has become a standard for evidence-based decision-making on humanitarian needs, as well as a rich repository of in-depth understanding of many of the drivers of food insecurity around the world. USAID seeks to redesign the seventh phase of the activity, building on the many successes of FEWS and FEWS NET but also ensuring the activity evolves to meet the changing context in which it operates.
