Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The high levels of under-nutrition and persisting hunger in the region not only calls for an assessment of the situation of food production and consumption but also issues like access to food by the poor in the region. This will have consequent implications for the target of achieving food security in the medium and long term.
