Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This guide was developed as part of an ECHO Funded project entitled: Developing a Response Analysis Framework for Food Security Emergencies. The funding is part of the ECHO global capacity building fund. The proposal to develop a Response Analysis Framework for food security was grounded in the understanding that whilst situation analysis of food security has improved in recent years, this has not been systematically translated into more appropriate and justified responses to food se curity problems. 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 (hosted by FAO in Rome in April 2008) which brought together INGOs, academia WFP and FAO. The Forum 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 Capacity Building Policy and the Future of Thematic Funding confirmed that food security information systems and approaches 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 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.

    In Sierra Leone, the implementation of the globally agreedVoluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance ofTenure of Lands, Fisheries and Forestry in the Context ofNational Food Security (VGGT) began in February 2014under the German-funded project “Support forCountry-Level Implementation of the Voluntary Guidelineson the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land,Fisheries and Forests” (referred to as VGGT ProjectPhase I), which ended on 31 July 2016. Phase I led tothe creation of a comprehensive institutional frameworkrequiring regular and ongoing meetings among keystakeholders from both government and civil societyorganizations.The present project was designed to leverage the benefitsof the implementation of the VGGT and to sustain theimplementation of the key emerging activities, localizingthe implementation of the VGGT at the district level. Thisproject provided the opportunity to incorporate lessonslearned during VGGT Project Phase I and incorporateother stakeholders who had not been fully engagedduring the first phase – in particular the private sector,members of parliament, local authorities etc. – in VGGTimplementation. The importance of continuing toimplement key and high-level activities ensured furtherpolitical buy-in and the application of VGGT principles,not least through the implementation of the newlyapproved National Land Policy (NLP).The overall aim of the project was to sustain theimplementation of the VGGT in Sierra Leone. This was tobe achieved through three main outputs:• A multistakeholder platform that continues topromote, implement and mainstream the VGGT.• Stakeholders in Parliament and at district levelsensitized on the VGGT and on the implementation ofthe NLP.• Support for the implementation of the newly approvedkey natural resources-related sector policies (the NLPand the Fisheries Policy).
