从2011年7月开始，联合国根据美国国际开发署资助的饥荒预警系统网络和粮农组织管理的索马里粮食安全和营养分析股的联合技术分析，对索马里南部进行了一系列公开饥荒宣布。在宣布饥荒之前的11个月里，饥荒预警系统网络和FSNAU提供了预警，包括2011年3月的具体饥荒预警。虽然在过去的许多粮食危机之前都提供了预警，但这些预警在及时性、所提供的预警的数量和质量以及使用正式的饥荒定义方面都是值得注意的。然而，如果没有鼓励及早采取行动的措施，可预防的粮食安全紧急情况可能会持续下去，无论所提供的预警质量如何。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Starting in July 2011, the United Nations made a series of public famine declarations for southern Somalia, based on joint technical analysis by the USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) and the FAO-managed Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit for Somalia (FSNAU). During the 11 months prior to the Famine declaration, early warning was provided by FEWS NET and FSNAU, including a specific Famine warning in March 2011. While early warning has been provided in advance of many past food crises, these early warnings were notable in terms of the timeliness, quantity and quality of the warning provided, and the use of a formalized Famine definition. However, in the absence of incentives for early action, preventable food security emergencies are likely to persist, regardless of the quality of the early warnings that is provided.
