This report presents an analytic overview of the current state of rural hunger across the African continent, identifying where the challenges are greatest and what policy changes and investments are likely to provide the greatest payoffs. It builds off the framework of the Ending Rural Hunger project which aggregates multiple data sources to quantify FNS needs, policies, and resources in individual countries. Such an approach allows for the identification of priorities both within and across countries, which then permits both domestic and international actors to better target their efforts to maximize impact.
