The Famine Early Warning System (FEWS) is a specialized Information Network (NET) based in developing countries contending with chronic food insecurity. FEWS NET is a partnership-based program initiated and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It is designed to build international, national and sub-national networks that help reduce food insecurity in countries where the political leadership is committed to assuming greater responsibility for the food security of their population.
