In this course we will explore how to bridge the gap between emergency assistance and developmental food and livelihood security support. Building resilience of livelihoods, necessary to make the position of households robust. Responses to emergency situations have to be seen and used as an initial step towards sustainable development.
In this interactive course, participants learn to make use of theoretical and conceptual thinking on food security. We will work with practical examples of policies and programs of the critical path of transition from aid to food security.
Course objectives
Upon completion of the course you will:
- have insight in the typology of emergencies – and the responses that contribute to food security;
- be better aware of causes of food insecurity outside the direct context of the household (on regional, national or even global levels);
- have clear ideas for lobby and advocacy for policies to facilitate a more developmental approach to emergencies;
- be able to apply tools for developing programs or interventions to contribute to structural development.
