Food & Nutrition Security Update_World Bank_June 2026

According to the latest food security update (June 2026), Myanmar remains the region's greatest concern in East Asia and the Pacific, with 12.4 million people facing acute food insecurity due to ongoing conflict, market disruptions, and high agricultural input costs. Continued monitoring should focus on food affordability, input costs, exchange rate pass-through, climate-related and logistics risks, and the implementation of policy measures.

Global food and nutrition security also remains fragile. As noted in the report, production of major cereals is projected to decline from the record levels reached in 2025, highlighting continued risks to global food supplies.

INTERSECTIONALITY WHEELS: Then and Now

Image
Back in 2009, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW-ICREF) developed the Intersectionality Wheel for their publication, Everyone Belongs: A Toolkit for Applying Intersectionality. The goal was to illustrate how various facets of discrimination and social identity come together in people’s lives. Lately, The Equality Institute has refined this model. Their version focuses on a person’s life stages, from infancy to adulthood, and shows how these stages intersect with identities like race, gender, disability, and Indigenous status, while also considering broader systemic challenges such as racism, sexism, and colonialism. Included in the 2022 publication of the UN Women and UN PRPD Intersectionality Resource Guide and Toolkit, this version highlights that a person’s experiences are ever-changing and never fixed. It further deepens the understanding of how power, identity, and social context evolve throughout one’s life. Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring   #Evaluat...
