Thousands of children have reportedly witnessed atrocities and have seen their mothers, fathers and siblings killed.

The fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo has received scant press attention, yet it is one of the bloodiest conflicts the world has known since the Second World War. In less than five years, an estimated 3.3 million people are thought to have been killed, the vast majority of them civilians. Many have been killed in fighting, but a far greater number have died of disease and starvation. As homes, hospitals and schools have been destroyed, families and communities trying to escape the fighting found themselves without food, water, shelter or other basic services. Children are by far the most vulnerable. Hundreds of thousands of them have died due to malnutrition and other preventable diseases. Children are by far the most vulnerable.

The International Alliance also supports individual countries in setting up National Alliances that will focus on their specific needs. For decades, a range of extremely qualified and dedicated organizations have waged anti-hunger campaigns on many levels and from many angles, with notable successes in garnering support at policy levels and in improving nutrition and income at individual levels. The Alliance Against Hunger is not one more organization on that list. The Alliance exists to provide a forum for bringing together all the levels and all the angles of on-going activities, connecting the dots to create a global picture that shows the fight against hunger is more than a poster slogan. It is tens of thousands of people working to help millions more. The International Alliance Against Hunger offers a united front to that fight This Web site is an instrument to help that happen, providing space to share information about activities and progress of the International Alliance partnerships, allowing National Alliances to share progress or questions with each other and to bring international visibility to their work. It has been developed in strong connection with the Web site of the UN System Network on Rural Development and Food Security. We look forward to your comments. The work of the International Alliance Against Hunger is directly in line with MDG 1, the reduction of poverty and hunger, and MDG 8, the establishment of partnerships. But through its work in assuring that all people in the world have enough to eat, the Alliance will certainly have affect on the achievement of the goals that focus on health, education, gender and sustainable use of natural resources. The International Alliance Against Hunger is also helping to fulfill the commitments of the World Food Summit reaffirmed during the World Food Summit: five years later. This map is compiled from the data of the Rome-based agencies to show where hunger exists in the world. The hunger context provides an at-a-glance look at the current situation in order to give perspective on the enormous and urgent task facing the International Alliance and its partners, but also of the amount of work that is underway around the globe. Estimates say that right now there are 840 million hungry people on our planet. But, who can conceive of a number that enormous? We can say it is one out of six people on earth. We can remind you that the population of the earth is expected to increase by 50 percent in the next 30 years and that the great majority of the increase will be in areas with the least likelihood of being able to provide food. This map is showing where the hunger is.         FAO works closely with federations, associations and local groups representing farmers, fisherfolk and herders to ensure that the aspirations of the poor, the disadvantaged, the marginalized and the hungry are successfully voiced. FAO's work with Civil Society is also guided by major international initiatives, notably the UN Millennium Development Goals with ambitious targets for dramatically reducing hunger and poverty by 2015.   Working with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) enables FAO to increase the effectiveness and quality of its work in agriculture and the fight against hunger. Through dialogue and consultation with CSOs, FAO ensures that its decision-making, policies and scientific research reflect the interests of all sectors of society.  CSOs work with FAO in a number of ways: in technical areas such as sustainable agriculture, gender and environment; in institutional areas such as representation and legislation and in capacity-building, advocacy and technical support. In its work with civil society, FAO collaborates with several other UN bodies. Notably, it exchanges information and coordinates with the United Nations Non-Governmental Liaison Service (NGLS), an inter-agency  Civil Society refers to all groups outside government such as community groups, non-governmental organizations, labour unions, Indigenous Peoples' organizations, charitable organizations, faith-based organizations, professional associations and foundations. Civil society expresses the interests of social groups and raises awareness of key issues in order to influence policy and decision-making. In recent decades, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have been successful in shaping global policy through advocacy campaigns and mobilization of people and resources. programme which aims at strengthening UN-civil society dialogue, cooperation and dynamic partnerships
