This policy brief introduces the ENOUGH Campaign in East Africa and invites you to be part of a practical response rooted in bold hope to end child hunger and malnutrition. It explains the challenge clearly, highlights what is working, and sets out actions that governments, donors, businesses, civil society, communities and friends of children can take together. The goal is simple and urgent: to make sure every child has ENOUGH of the right food to grow well, learn in school and thrive.

Famine is not a natural disaster and can be prevented. Across the world’s hunger hotspots, early warnings are clear, yet governments continue to act too late – or not at all. Conflict, blockades, and the denial of humanitarian access, not food scarcity, are driving a deepening hunger crisis, with children suffering first and longest. As aid budgets are cut, the gap between need and response is widening fast. This is a false economy: preventing famine costs far less than responding once lives are already lost. World Vision warns famine can be predicted and prevented – but only if leaders act early, protect civilians, and put children at the centre of hunger prevention.
