This report presents the Pakistan Subnational Food Systems Dashboard (PSFSD), developed by GAIN, FAO, Columbia Climate School, and Johns Hopkins University. It serves as a centralized data source to inform food security policies at both national and sub-national levels.

Key findings:

18.5% of Pakistanis are undernourished, 12.9% experience severe food insecurity, and 42.3% suffer from moderate food insecurity.
The PSFSD aims to track food system progress, support policy development, and enhance accountability.
Key national stakeholders, including the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of National Food Security & Research, are leading data collection efforts.
The dashboard is positioned to help Pakistan achieve long-term food security goals through data-driven interventions.
