Food Insecurity – Multi-sectoral Dimension
Successful strategies to eliminate food insecurity combines these diverse sectors

• One possible mechanism for generating an integrated food security analysis:
o To establish independent structures dedicated to gathering and analyzing a wide range of food security data??
• Two major disadvantages of independent structures:
o They tend to be very costly to operateo They are often completely independent of national
structureo Not Sustainable – heavy loaded institutional setup
creates dependency…

Solution is Interdependent Coordination Group?
• Because of complex livelihood crises - requiring a range of strategies and responses that cut across mandates and institutions
• Minimizes inadequate knowledge and helps to understand interlocking vulnerabilities and encourages multi-sectoral responses
• Strengthens the capacity of the government by ensuring timely and accurate warning to initiate early and appropriate responses
Light weighted office structure- advantages of networking

Advantages …o Ensures continuous early warning information exchange
between the EWS and different agencies
o Increase consensus between donors, humanitarian agencies and the Government on emergency needs and how to address them
o Aavoids duplication of data collection by decreasing establishment of parallel system – helps to keep costs at a minimum
o Increase participation in and use of the results of the government-led working groups by other partners
o Helps to develop an appropriate quantitative and standard methodology – creates the necessary platform for policy related discussions

Advantages …• Increases credibility when preceded by a
consensus based planning process
• Ensures a demand for routine data exchange network to facilitate a smooth information exchange
• Improves connectivity between federal line ministries and states/localities
• Helps to follow up on response, analyze gaps and update and circulate information to decision makers as required

Linkages b/n National & Sub-national FSIS • FSIS is increasingly needed to support decision
making at the local level.– By building the capacity of the decentralized FSIS
• Appropriate institutional relationships between national and sub-national information system activities– Mostly it is vertically integrated with data collected at
lower administrative levels

Sub-sectors and Focal Points
• Possible sectoral sub-working groups and their possible chairs:– Agriculture and Livestock – possible chair- MoAF, MoARF and/or FAO
– Water and Environmental Sanitation – possible chair MoWR, and/or UNICEF
– Health and Nutrition – possible chair MoH and/or UNICEF
– Food and Consumption – possible chair HAC, MoT, MoAF, SMA, MoFNE and/or WFP
– Education and other demographic issues – possible chair - Ministry of Education, CBS, MoIC, MoSW and/or NPC
• Sectoral working group chairs of the government will serve as focal points for food security/livelihood working group

• Government line ministry members may include MoAF, CBS, SMSO, Mapping Authority, HAC, MoFNE, NIC, MoH, MoWR, etc.
• Core members outside the government may include: UN/OCHA and/or RCO, WFP, UNICEF, FAO,USAID, EC, etc.
• NGOs: CARE, SC-UK, SC-USA, CRS, OXFAM, World Vision, ERCS, AOAD, FHI, Goal, etc.
• Similar structures are recommended for Federal and State levels

Major Activities of the working groups• The activities of the Food Security and/or livelihood
Working Group can be defined via annual work-planning process.
• Review of the Sudan food security monitoring system with the aim of developing a single standardized approach
• Ensure coordination and coherence between the various information systems of the Government
• Review, advise and develop a standing system of sectoral and cross-sectoral coordination at federal and state levels.
• Providing technical advice and guidance on food security and drought mgt to the Government, donors and partners.

Sustainability
• The leadership of the government should be ensured and well articulated
• Without Government leadership, other agencies would continue to lead sectors to their own objectives.
• This is now functioning in uncoordinated manner and has the potential to result in more debate and less consensus
• Best example – Case of Kadugli – DG chairing FSLCG

Possible Constraints
• Lack of sustained commitment and resource and capacity (human and financial resources)– Hence strong support required, at least at its initial
stages
• Institutional agenda may sometimes set in
• Frequency of lengthy meetings may increase
• Network partners may not always conform to deadlines
