Book (stand-alone)Guidance Note: Integrating the Right to Adequate Food into food and nutrition security programmes 2013This Guidance Note is a practical tool for practitioners who want to integrate the right to food into food and nutrition security programmes. It builds a bridge between the normative dimensions of the right to food and practical work on programme design, implementation and monitoring at country level. This tool does so by briefly explaining the conceptual, legal and operational dimensions of the right to food. Then it looks at four key entry points for integrating the right to food into fo od and nutrition security programmes: roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, legal aspects, monitoring, and recourse and claim mechanisms. Then uses specific examples and cases to illustrate how this can be done. The Guidance Note consolidates the right to food as both an objective and a tool for achieving food security for all. It shows that the right to food can provide an overarching framework that guides efforts to address hunger and malnutrition. At the same time, adopting an app roach based on the right to adequate food in the design, implementation and monitoring of programmes increases the chances of enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of efforts. This publication is the result of an inter-departmental participatory process and close collaboration between the Integrated Food Security Support Service (TCSF) of the Policy and Programme Support Division and the Right to Food Team of the Agricultural Development Economics Division ( ESA), with numerous contributions from practitioners and experts from the field and headquarters. It was authored by Carmen Lahoz and Enrique De Loma-Ossorio from the Instituto de Estudios del Hambre (IEH) in Madrid. Available in English, French and Spanish.

DocumentInstitutional framework for the right to adequate food
Right to Food Thematic Study 2
2014Also available in:
No results found.This study shows how an institutional framework can efficiently support the realization of the right to adequate food and – mainly with the guidance of Guidelines 5 and 18 –examines important advances that have taken place since the adoption of the Right to Food Guidelines through various structural dimensions of an institution. Executive and legislative bodies, human rights institutions as well as judicial and quasi-judicial bodies, at national, regional and global levels, have been established or strengthened over the past decade so as to further contribute to the realization of the right to adequate food of all. Progresses are seen in various regions and across societies with different historical, cultural, social and economic contexts. Still, at national, regional and global levels, there are various actions that can be taken to further increase the contribution of institutional frameworks to the eradication of hunger, malnutrition and the realization of the right to adequate food of all over the coming years. Some of these actions include: the entrustment of clear and broad mandates on the right to adequate food; the empowerment and funding of adequate human resources; and an active and effective participation of all relevant stakeholders in order to strengthen accountability and transparency.
