Abstract: Abstract There are four steps in famine prevention: detection, preparedness, intervention and rehabilitation. This study has focused on the first of these, comprising monitoring and prediction or assessment. This final chapter considers its implications for the other steps and proposes a way of integrating the four stages within an information and policy-making framework, thus forging what has been described as the ‘missing link’ between famine EW and response (Buchanan-Smith and Davies, in press). It explores the conclusions that can be drawn for the development of sustainable and appropriate methodologies for monitoring vulnerability to food insecurity, and the uses to which such information can be put by planners and policy-makers.
