Providing a Platform for Food Security Policy Dialogue
A programme staff member has been participating in existing food security platforms including those lead by: the government (EWWG/DPPA), the UN (UNDAF Pillar) and donors (REDFS). These platforms aim at gaining a better understanding of how food security issues are handled in Ethiopia.
Participants have also been discussing how the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Framework (IPC) might be used. The IPC, besides being a tool for situation analysis, also provides a platform for dialogue. Indeed, in order to come up with the IPC classifications, leading food security players in the country meet together, examine the evidence, and gain a common consensus on the severity of food insecurity.
