MeetingHarnessing the potential of aid to protect livelihoods and promote peace: The experience of the Nuba Mountains Programme Advancing Conflict Transformation (NMPACT)

No results found.The paper examines the experience of the NMPACT programme in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan. The programme provides an example of an operational response which has innovatively addressed an incipient food security crisis through an approach which requires adherence to principles of engagement that emphasize strengthening livelihoods and peace building. The document analyses how NMPACT was developed out of learning from the Operation Lifeline Sudan experience, how it broke from traditional externall y driven responses to food insecurity and adopted an approach which focuses on capacity building, promotion of sustainable agriculture and market revitalization alongside conflict transformation and peace building. The significant results achieved by NMPACT in a relatively short space of time indicate that much can be learned for a response that is informed by a political analysis of food insecurity, which departs from the more conventional technical and community-centred responses of aid agenci es to such crises. -
