Missed our recent #webinar "How should governments respond to crises? Rapid response using RIAPA modeling system"? The #recording is here 👉 https://lnkd.in/diHAKMsb In this webinar, we demonstrate how the RIAPA (The Rural Investment and Policy Analysis) modeling system has been utilized to evaluate the potential effects of recent global shocks on economies, agrifood systems, and household poverty and malnutrition. We share findings from a cross-country analysis on the impacts of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, where RIAPA was used to provide real-time impact assessments and policy advice. 🤝 International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) #CGIAR #ForesightInitiative

🌍Sudan's agriculture sector, once a cornerstone of the economy, has been severely impacted by ongoing conflict, leading to a drastic decline in crop production and disruption of trade. Despite these challenges, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) highlights that Sudanese farmers hold the potential for a swift postwar recovery, provided peace is achieved. Their resilience and ability to revive agriculture could be key to rebuilding livelihoods and reducing poverty in the nation. 📸: Jonathan Dumont/WFP More: https://lnkd.in/dYHA_Gg6 #Livelihoods #FoodSecurity
