| dc.description | The project was designed in response to a request from the Government of South Africa for assistance in the priority areas of food security and nutrition Efforts to implement FSN policies in an integrated manner were challenged by a lack of effective communication among the various government departments involved The structures to ensure that a multisectoral approach was implemented at decentralized levels of government were either weak or non existent and no mechanisms were in place to ensure mutual accountability The roles of these structures were undefined and the lack of an FSN information management system impeded FSN measuring, monitoring and evaluation (M& The aim of the project was to contribute to improving FSN policy processes and content development in order to reduce food insecurity in the country It would do this by facilitating the generation of baseline information on FSN indicators and policies, and by designing an M&E framework Multi stakeholder coordination of FSN issues would be ensured by establishing or strengthening multi stakeholder FSN coordination structures at national, provincial and district levels Finally FSN capacities and awareness among stakeholders would be increased through a capacity needs assessment for FSN implementation and the development of a capacity building programme Following an FAO/African Union Agricultural Ministers Declaration in April 2020 the FAO Regional Office for Africa developed guidelines to assess the anticipated impact of COVID 19 on food systems, agriculture and food security in African countries Funds from the current project were repurposed to conduct such an assessment in South Africa The aim of the assessment was to inform government responses to the crisis and put in place policies and actions to minimize the disruption of food supply chains, trade, food demand, income and livelihoods, especially among poor and vulnerable segments of the population. | |
