We maintain that such an environment is a necessary, though by no means a sufficient condition, to ensure that progress is made in eventually achieving the full enjoyment of the right to food by

    This thematic study takes a retrospective glance at social protection over a span of a decade from 2004 to 2014. It presents developments from the perspective of Guidelines 8, 13, 14 and recommended measures for international cooperation and partnership necessary for promoting the right to adequate food. It presents the trajectory of a human rights-based approach to social protection across global and regional policy spaces taking stock of the presence of non-state actors and the emergence of in clusive platforms for multi-stakeholders to engage in policy and implementation of programmes. It highlights opportunities for technical cooperation, knowledge exchange, and financial assistance for social protection and points to the momentum for nationally determined social protection floors with challenges of financing and coherence as regards capacities and commitments of States. The study also looks at the use of social protection in short and long term food security interventions contexts and the emerging evidence of its impact. It suggests the need for looking at processes in addition to outcomes, in particular those that bear upon issues related to accountability, grievance mechanisms, and vulnerable groups.
