“…The NSS was carried out by three nongovernmental organizations (Save the Children US, Action Contre La Faim, and GOAL Ireland) and provincial ministries, piloted in seven provinces [2]. This data collection system was developed through consultation between government ministries and other stakeholder agencies in May 2002, based on a health center surveillance system that monitors trends in disease occurrence.…”

Improving nutritional status requires a multipronged approach, directly targeting malnutrition, coupled with economic growth, household livelihood security, social protection, access to public health services, and water and sanitation. Nutrition policy, programming, and monitoring need to reflect the immediate and underlying causes of malnutrition. Future research needs to be designed to quantify the relative contribution of underlying causes of poor nutrition, allowing practitioners to prioritize responses aimed at improving nutritional outcomes.

“…Paradoxically, the 'non-headlining' nature of agricultural development in an emergency context, which is usually represented in the media by large volumes of relief aid or mass displacement of people, can support this role, while also militating against high-profile advocacy activities. Johnecheck (2005) provides an excellent overview of theories of, and mechanisms for, monitoring and assessing food security as well as other variables, such as development and social progress. Escobar (1985) and Christoplos et al (2004) have also traced the emergence of a 'development-underdevelopment' narrative, from its emergence in the late 1940s and 1950s, when it was considered equivalent to gross domestic product (GDP) and modernisation.…”

Food Security in Complex Emergencies: Enhancing Food System Resilience

2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper explores linkages between food security and crisis in different contexts, outlining the policy and institutional conditions needed to manage food security during a crisis and to rebuild the resilience of food systems in periods of relative peace. The paper reviews experiences over the past decade of countries in protracted crisis and draws lessons for national and international policy. It assesses the different alternatives on offer in fragile countries to address, for example, the disruption of institutional mechanisms and the decreasing level of support offered by international donors with respect to longer-term expectations. It proposes a Twin Track Approach to enhance food security resilience through specific policies for protracted crises that link immediate hunger relief interventions with a long-term strategy for sustainable growth. Finally, the article analyses policy options and the implications for both short- and longer-term responses vis-a-vis the three dimensions of food security: availability; access; and stability.
