RISK FACTORS TO MONITOR
Prices of essential food items- The increasing prices of essential food and non-food items is a major risk to the food security of households
which is also expected to erode their purchasing power that needs to be monitored.
Afghan situation- The current situation in Afghanistan can stimulate cross border displacement. The displacement is expected to put
enormous pressure on the local market structures, labour market, and natural resources that can negatively affect the food security
dimensions.
Climatic conditions (La Nina and drought) -the climatic conditions are crucial to monitor, which may impact on agricultural production and
livelihoods, and may also cause outbreak of livestock diseases.
Livestock diseases- Livestock diseases such as Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Peste des Petits Ruminates (PPR), and Hemorrhagic
septicemia (HS) outbreak is likely to increase due to seasonal change.
Border fencing & closure- The livelihood opportunities have reduced for those engaged in informal trade due to closure of border with
Afghanistan and Iran. The border fencing has resulted in the stoppage of informal trade and access to markets at both sides of the border.
The community at the border now has to travel long distances to reach the market which increased their food cost and adversely affects their
livelihoods. This factor needs to be monitored in the projected phase.
Loss of employment- Due to economic instability, exchange rate, fuel prices and cost of production are increasing which may cause loss of
employment and may affect livelihoods.
The COVID-19 situation - Although the incidence rate has declined significantly in Pakistan but the situation still needs to be monitored
because of surge in the cases globally due to new variants.View entire presentation
