The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Famine Early Warning
Systems Network (FEWS NET) is an information system designed to identify
problems in the food supply system that potentially lead to famine or other
food-insecure conditions in sub-Saharan Africa, Afghanistan, Central America,
and Haiti. FEWS NET is a multi-disciplinary project that collects, analyzes,
and distributes regional, national, and sub-national information to decision
makers about potential or current famine or other climate hazard-, or
socio-economic-related situations, allowing them to authorize timely measures
to prevent food-insecure conditions in these nations. Regions and countries
with FEWS NET representatives include sub-Saharan Africa (Angola, Burkina
Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique,
Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, (southern) Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia,
and Zimbabwe), Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua),
Afghanistan, and Haiti.

Namibia - The Ministry of
Environment and Tourism, with financial assistance of the Finnish Government,
has compiled a new 'Atlas of Namibia' , authored by John
Mendelsohn, Alice Jarvis,
Carole Roberts
and Tony Robertson. The atlas provides basic
reference material on the geography (senso lato) of
Namibia
, including social, demographic, economic, infrastructural, physical, climatic
and biological features of
Namibia
. Throughout the book, relationships between these features are explored to
highlight the most important and interesting environmental potentials and
constraints, especially as these relate to sustainable development options as
Namibia
enters the 21st Century. The book has been designed and written in a format to
reach as wide an audience as possible. The Atlas was
published in 2002: Atlas of
Namibia
: A portrait of the Land and it’s People. J
Mendlesohn, A Jarvis, C Roberts & T Robertson. 2002 David Philip Publishers,
