Points 1-33In the beginning, there was darkness in the food security world. A virus is a program that replicates, i.e. it spreads from file to file on your system and from PC to PC. In addition, it may be programmed to erase or damage data.Worms are generally considered to be a subset of viruses, but with certain key differences. A worm is a computer program that replicates, but does not infect other files. Instead, it installs itself once on a computer and then looks for a way to spread to other computers.In the case of a virus, the longer it goes undetected, the more infected files there will be on the computer. Worms, however, create a single instance of their code. Moreover, unlike a virus, a worm code is stand-alone. In other words, a worm is a separate file while a virus is a set of code which adds itself to existing files.

Points 34-87In the period 1968 through 1979, major steps were taken to improve confidence. A virus is a program that replicates, i.e. it spreads from file to file on your system and from PC to PC.

SLIDE 1 of 3
Things Fall Apart
Methodology wars (Ethiopia 96, Rome 96-98, etc)
erupted
Skirmishes(overlapping experts and
consultants trying to help one government office)
were common
Finding: Donor food security and early warning services actually
impeded development of national/regional food security and early warning institutions
2008 global food and fuelprice crisis caught us unawares
2009 Niger early termination of end-of-season rainfall caught us
unawares
2011 Drought and famine warnings; not effective?
Bottom line of last 30 years:
A food future that is more uncertain
Things Fall Together
We share a common concept of early warning and food
insecurity
We have a tradition of relying on data and evidence
to identify truth
We’re reaching agreementon best practices and
common methodologies(most of the time)
Our “art” has become science; and many of us here
have contributed directly to this
At our technical level, most of us are known
to each other
A “community of practice”
(VAC, SENAC, FSIN, GEO/GLAM, former colleagues)
has become a tangible resource for many of us
We feel a responsibilityto our peers, and to our
humanitarian objectives, to be reasonable…
and collaborative
We all know that we can’tdo this work alone;
the job is bigger than any of us
Bottom line of 30years of efforts;
We have come togetherIn a way that promises
more impact in the future
So, what are the real challenges this week?
Identify new partners
Tell what you will share
Give away something of value
Build at the national and regional levels
Learn how to speak to your organization
