DocumentInstitutional framework for the right to adequate food
Right to Food Thematic Study 2
2014Also available in:
No results found.This study shows how an institutional framework can efficiently support the realization of the right to adequate food and – mainly with the guidance of Guidelines 5 and 18 –examines important advances that have taken place since the adoption of the Right to Food Guidelines through various structural dimensions of an institution. Executive and legislative bodies, human rights institutions as well as judicial and quasi-judicial bodies, at national, regional and global levels, have been established or strengthened over the past decade so as to further contribute to the realization of the right to adequate food of all. Progresses are seen in various regions and across societies with different historical, cultural, social and economic contexts. Still, at national, regional and global levels, there are various actions that can be taken to further increase the contribution of institutional frameworks to the eradication of hunger, malnutrition and the realization of the right to adequate food of all over the coming years. Some of these actions include: the entrustment of clear and broad mandates on the right to adequate food; the empowerment and funding of adequate human resources; and an active and effective participation of all relevant stakeholders in order to strengthen accountability and transparency. -

No results found.Food insecurity and malnutrition remain a major public health and socioeconomic concern in Africa, particularly in Eastern Africa, which is home to more than half of the continent's undernourished population According to recent estimates, around 28 million people in the region are severely food insecure Fighting against hunger requires strong coordination and institutional capacity, as well as strong political commitment reflected in policy and investments However, the governments of the Horn of Africa suffer from poorly informed and coordinated food security policies and strategies, and from a lack of capacity to address the food and nutrition security poverty migration nexus and to maximize cross sectoral synergies International trade has historically had a favourable impact on food security by connecting areas with low agricultural potential and high population density to areas with agricultural comparative advantages, while also expanding access to a wider range of nutritious food commodities This is reflected in the Framework for Increasing Intra African Trade in Agricultural Goods and Services, which is based on the fifth commitment of the 2014 Malabo Declaration, that aims to triple intra African agricultural trade and services by 2025 Increased trade can contribute to developing long term jobs, income, and livelihoods, as well as strengthening agricultural production and food security on the continent. -
