Breaking the Links Between Conflict and Hunger in Africa

No 45856, 2020 Africa Conference Briefs from CGIAR, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Abstract: International humanitarian relief and development operations provide opportunities to build peace and create sustainable food security, especially in situations where operations are carried out with explicit frameworks attending to human rights and sustainable livelihoods. Achieving lasting peace is a complex proposition because there is no single set of causes of conflict or a sure way to remove them. Nevertheless, there are food and agricultural policy actions that can foster peaceful outcomes that promote food security.
