MeetingFinal Report of the International Workshop: Food Security and Crisis in Countries Subject to Complex Emergencies September 2003 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The number and scale of conflict-related, food security emergencies is increasing, and the role of human-induced conflict in escalating a natural crisis, such as a drought, to a food security emergency has grown in importance over the last decade. HIV/AIDS is another important factor exacerbating natural and human-induced crises. But while the number of short-term emergency interventions is increasing and funds are diverted towards humanitarian aid, resources for long-term development aid h ave stagnated or decreased. The challenge is to create a new framework which includes responses to both short-term emergencies and sustainable food security. However, while humanitarianism is guided by a clear set of principles, concepts for longer-term policies and interventions require further development.
