DocumentQuand l’urgence dure plusieurs décennies
Comment améliorer la sécurité alimentaire dans les situations de crises prolongées
201033 pays sont actuellement confrontés à une crise de sécurité alimentaire. 14 d'entre eux subisse cette situation depuis plus d'une décennie. Quand l’urgence perdure aussi longtemps, les paradigmes traditionnels du développement et de l’aide humanitaire sont impuissants à trouver des réponses efficaces. Au lieu de privilégier les programmes de secours ad hoc, les interventions devraient adopter des stratégies à long terme et s’appuyer sur les institutions locales. -
MeetingFood security as a policy goal in the complex emergencies context and links between information, analysis and programming

2003Also available in:
No results found.Countries that manifest high levels of food insecurity genearlly experience in high levels of conflict, which results in complex emergencies. These countries need to adopt well-planned, short-, medium- and long-term measures to improve their food security situation. The food security policy should cover all sectors of the food chain, including increasing food availability through production and importation, improving marketing efficiency, increasing people’s purchasing power and setting up effec tive early warning and food information systems (EWFIS). An effective EWFIS should use data spanning the entire food chain (ie meteorological, remote sensing, agricultural statistics etc). EWFIS is useful not only for monitoring the food security situation to detect areas and segments of the population that are facing deterioriating food security, but also for providing relevant data (eg baseline data, vulnerability maps etc) need for longer term planning to move the affected populations from vu lnerability to sustainable development.
