Synopsis (short abstract) The proposal to develop a Response Analysis Framework (RAF) for food security in emergencies was grounded in the understanding that whilst situation analysis of food security has improved in recent years (through initiatives such as World Food Program’s (WFP) Strengthening Emergency Needs Assessment Capacity (SENAC) project and the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC)), this has not been systematically translated into more appropriate and justified responses to food security problem s. Globally, a number of reviews have recognised the gap that exists in the link between food security situation and forecast analysis and programming. Response analysis processes were a focus of The Re-thinking Food Security Forum (Rome April 2008). The Forum brought together INGOs, WFP and FAO, who highlighted the need for response analysis processes to be inclusive, and for interventions to be informed by a full review of options. In 2009, consultations held at DG ECHO on Capaci ty Building Policy and the Future of Thematic Funding confirmed that information systems such as IPC, SENAC, Humanitarian Health and Nutrition Tracking Service (HNTS), market analysis, do “not yet include improved response analysis for programming support”1 ECHO observed that “There is an inadequate link between food security analysis and response...”.

    The objective of this study is to analyse and compare experiences from existing food security and nutrition (FSN) institutional frameworks from different countries t o identify lessons learned and guiding principles. This will help to: (i) promote reflection on ways to improve institutional frameworks for FSN; (ii) improve mechanisms for ensuring coherence and coordination among all stakeholders and initiatives designed to achieve FSN; and (iii) strengthen the commitment to food security by deci sion-makers and various stakeholders. This study also contributes to the design of key methodological issues for establishing or strengthening adequate FSN institutional frameworks to feed future supports in this area.
