Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina na leo ikiwa ni siku ya kimataifa ya kupinga utumikishaji wa watoto ambapo shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kazi duniani, ILO, linasema maudhui ni Maendeleo yako dhahiri, lakini bado kuna mengi ya kufanya: Hebu tuongeze kasi. Tunakupeleka nchini Tanzania kumulika harakati za kuwaepusha watoto kutumikishwa.

1.	Watu waliolazimika kukimbia makazi yao kutokana na vita, ukatili na mateso duniani kote imefikia kiwango cha juu kisichovumilika, hasa wakati huu ambapo ufadhili wa misaada ya kibinadamu unapungua kwa kasi. Kwa mujibu wa Ripoti ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR iliyotolewa leo kuhusu mwelekeo wa Ulimwengu, kufikia mwisho wa Aprili mwaka huu, kulikuwa na watu milioni 122.1 waliolazimika kuhama kwa nguvu, ikilinganishwa na watu milioni 120 mwaka uliopita katika kipindi kama hicho. 
2.	Ikiwa leo ni Siku ya Kimataifa ya kupinga ajira kwa watoto, utafiti uliofanywa na mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa lile la kazi duniani, ILO na la kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF unaonesha licha ya hatua zilizopigwa, ajira kwa watoto bado inaathiri watoto milioni 138 duniani kote, kati yao milioni 54 wakifanya kazi hatarishi ambazo zinaweza kuhatarisha afya yao, usalama wao au maendeleo yao kwa ujumla. 
3.	Nchini Sudan Kusini watu wako katika hatari ya njaa katika miezi ijayo, kutokana na kuongezeka kwa mapigano katika jimbo la Upper Nile. Utafiti mpya kutoka katika Mfumo wa Uainishaji wa Viwango vya Uhakika wa Chakula (IPC) unaonesha kudorora kwa hali ya chakula na lishe katika maeneo ya Sudan Kusini yaliyoathiriwa na mapigano katika miezi ya karibuni.
4.	Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili hii leo mchambuzi wetu mlumbi wa Kiswahili Joramu Nkumbi kutoka nchini Tanzania, anafafanua maana ya maneno "MBEUZI, MNYWANYWA NA MACHAGU.”

Mwenyeji wako ni Flora Nducha, karibu!

JARIDA LA HABARI ZA UN 01 JULAI 2025 NA ANOLD KAYANDA

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar
Worsening food insecurity, waning response capacity: Options for a better way forward
Co-organized by IFPRI, the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) and the CGIAR Science Program on Food Frontiers and Security | Part of the Fragility to Stability Seminar Series
July 2, 2025

Food crises arise from the complex interplay of conflict, poverty, climate variability, and economic shocks, resulting in acute food insecurity among vulnerable populations. According to the latest Global Report on Food Crises (2025), the number of people facing severe levels of acute food insecurity has tripled over the past decade, rising from around 100 million in 2016 to nearly 300 million people in 2024.  

The report warns that intensifying conflict in areas prone to food crises could worsen these conditions, policy uncertainty in major economies could slow income growth around the world, and budget cuts could erode humanitarian assistance, as well as capacities to monitor and anticipate drivers of acute food insecurity. 

This seminar will assess these prospects and discuss ways to counteract them. 

Speakers will discuss:  

• Trends in acute food insecurity and major drivers 
• Challenges posed by budget cuts by major aid donors and impacts on food crisis response capacities 
• Obstacles faced by early warning, early action systems in collecting adequate data to monitor and anticipate food crises and address drivers 
• Insights from AI-driven predictive modeling approaches to overcome select data challenges and better inform anticipatory and preventive action

Johan Swinnen, Director General, IFPRI

Worsening food insecurity, waning response capacity: Options for a better way forward

Amid reports of a fragile calm in Syria’s Sweida governorate, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) confirmed on Monday that it is helping to provide assistance to those displaced by the violence – and the country’s many returnees. 

The development follows deadly clashes between Bedouin and Druze communities in Sweida that has drawn in Syrian government forces and the Israeli military, highlighting the regional implications of unresolved tensions inside Syria. 

With more on the crisis and the challenges facing Syrians returning home after well over a decade of civil war, here’s WFP’s head of emergency communications, Jonathan Dumont, with UN News’s Daniel Johnson in Geneva.

2.	Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani, (WFP) limeeleza leo kuwa kutokana na upungufu wa ufadhili, mamilioni ya watu Sudan Kusini wako hatarini kukosa msaada wa chakula. Naibu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa WFP ambaye pia ni Afisa Mkuu wa Uendeshaji, Carl Skau, ambaye hivi karibuni ametembelea Sudan Kusini anasema, "Kote Sudan Kusini, takriban watu milioni 8 wanakabiliwa na uhaba mkubwa wa chakula, wengi wao wakitegemea msaada kutoka WFP ili kuendelea kuishi.

4.	Na katika mashinani hii leo Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres ameweka bayana shuhuda za kuvutia na madhubuti juu ya kwa nini mapinduzi ya nishati mbadala hayaepukiki sasa, pamoja na manufaa yatakayotokana na mabadiliko ya haki kutoka nishati ya kisukuku kuelekea nishati salama. Ushahidi huo madhubuti ni pamoja na makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa kutumia nishati ya sola na Guterres amefika kwenye eneo lenye paneli hizo.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar
Informing Crisis Response in Sudan
Co-organized by IFPRI and the CGIAR Science Program on Food Frontiers and Security | Part of the Fragility to Stability Seminar Series
October 22, 2025

The recent resurgence of armed conflicts in Africa is increasing the need and urgency for investments in shock-responsive humanitarian and social assistance programs. Armed conflicts both increase the need for aid and greatly complicate delivery of humanitarian services to vulnerable populations. In addition, humanitarian organizations are facing an increasing funding gap because of dwindling donor aid.

These challenges are forcing humanitarian organizations to revisit the effectiveness and cost-efficacy of their programs and services for conflict-affected populations. The choice and relative efficacy of alternative modalities and delivery of humanitarian or social assistance programs in these communities remains an active area of debate.

The armed conflict in Sudan, which erupted in April 2023, has created the world’s largest displacement crisis, and has left over 30 million of the 47.5 million Sudanese population needing multifaceted humanitarian assistance. To help inform the crisis response, this policy seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners, and humanitarian organizations working in Sudan to share and discuss recent evidence on preferences and impact of alternative modalities to deliver humanitarian aid amid armed conflict.
