    This report tests the validity of the hypothesis that there exists a critical paradox between the dynamic features of food insecurity and static policy response in a protracted emergency context. It does so by presenting a review of the food security situation and related stakeholders' responses in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where more than ten years of war have generated one of the most severe humanitarian crises since the Second World War. The paper first conceptualizes the particular links between conflict and food security. It stresses that a better understanding of the institutional shifts caused by conflict and the consequent strategies initiated by households are essential to better understand the dynamic nature of food-related emergencies. It then discusses the effects of conflict on the levels of poverty and on local food systems in the DRC. It then examines the food security responses of international donors, local institutions and associations. From this analysis, a number of lessons and challenges for future interventions are distilled.

    Book (stand-alone)
    Technical Guide on the Integration of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security into the Implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and Land Degradation Neutrality 2022
    Produced jointly by the secretariats of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), with contributions from multiple stakeholders, this technical guide addresses the integration of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries, and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) within the implementation of the UNCCD and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN), thus opening a new chapter in ongoing efforts to combat desertification, land degradation, and drought. The guide outlines the practical applications of the VGGT – an internationally recognized framework on the responsible governance of tenure – in the context of the design and implementation of LDN initiatives. It offers a flexible multi-pathway approach to support policy and decision-makers and relevant stakeholders in shaping a tailor-made response to commonly encountered land tenure challenges via a range of national plans, legal frameworks, strategies, and action programmes addressing land degradation.
