Preparedness and Resilience Working Group Lessons Learned

Global Food and Nutrition Security

This paper is a synthesis of lessons learnt from the experience of NGO partners working on early warning early action (EWEA), preparedness, vulnerability reduction and resilience. The learning does not claim to be comprehensive, but can serve as a useful document, which captures some important lessons to help improve food security and livelihood humanitarian interventions. The diversity of issues addressed in this collection illustrates how inherently complex it can be when seeking to effectively link immediate lifesaving needs with longer-term interventions that address together hunger, poverty and climate change. To gain a full picture of the learning, the narrative presented here should be read along with the original learning papers that can be accessed directly through the links provided by each NGO partner.
