DocumentWorking paperFood Aid in Response to Acute Food Insecurity 2006
Also available in:
No results found.This paper reviews the role of food aid in response to humanitarian emergencies. It outlines a set of basic principles for effective food aid interventions, and analyses a number of case studies in humanitarian response. The paper distinguishes between rapid onset and slow onset emergencies and between idiosyncratic emergencies affecting individuals or households and covariate emergencies affecting entire communities or countries. The lead-time afforded by slow-onset emergencies could be but us ually is not used to mount early interventions aimed at averting full-scale disasters. Emergency response is too heavily dominated by food aid, especially aid sourced in donor countries, to the neglect of more effective and less costly interventions. Whats more, idiosyncratic shocks are usually overlooked in humanitarian response. The paper draws a number of lessons learned from recent experience with different types of humanitarian emergencies. It argues that emergency food aid is often a nece ssary part of humanitarian response to acute food insecurity, but it is rarely sufficient. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

DocumentOther documentDisaster Risk Reduction for Food and Nutrition Security: Key Practices for DRR Implementers 2014
Also available in:
Southern Africa is a highly diverse region, from both a geographic and a climatic point of view, spanning the ample deserts in Namibia to the Equatorial rainforests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This diversity is also reflected in the variety of hazards that recurrently affect an important part of the surface and the population. Hazards in southern Africa are often due to disruptive climatic events, particularly severe droughts, floods and/or cyclones. The 1992 drought that affe cted most of southern Africa, and cyclones Eline in 2000 and Favio in 2007, which heavily impacted Mozambique and Madagascar, are among the most destructive events of the last two decades in this region. Each of these events led to substantial devastation with regard to lives and livelihoods, and both also had significant impacts on the region’s economic development. Climate change is a major concern in this regard, as extreme weather events are expected to increase and become more severe.
