I've been posting for a while about issues on food insecurity in Sudan. I'm very thankful to Conflict Sensitivity Facility (CSF) and USAID for the opportunity to think of solutions and approaches as well. At this point, famine has been declared in Sudan and thousands of people are at risk of starvation. With the aid sector rapidly scaling up the response to support those affected and prevent the worst, those designing, funding and implementing programmes must support more conflict-resilient food systems. This is not only essential to avoid the famine response feeding into underlying drivers of inequality and conflict in Sudan’s agricultural system but to also reduce humanitarian need in the long-run. Some key points: 1) Urgent direct food and cash (where possible) aid must be scaled up with proper pressure to open up access sustainably; 2) The agricultural and pastoralist livelihoods must be supported as a whole, inclusive of all the production systems that are present; 3) The support must not be limited to emergency activities, as the food production system that existed prior to the war was destroying the environment and with it the sustainability of the livelihoods, while centralising profits in the hands of few actors and leaving around a third of the population chronically food insecure. The centralisation inherent in the system also made it highly vulnerable to conflict that affected the centre, as this one did. A return to the old system is not a viable option; 4) A vision of a socially equitable, environmentally sustainable, and financially viable food production system should be the goal that all aid sector works towards. Decentralised capacities to secure productive capacity in resilient units is key in this and even emergency programming can operate in a way to lay the foundations; 5) Conflict sensitivity and highly contextualised analyses of appropriate approaches are needed as land and natural resources have been huge conflict drivers in Sudan in the past and especially land grabbing during the world's largest displacement crisis is a huge risk. Aid must not contribute to entrenching land grabs. The conflict actors can further extract huge rents from the food systems, feeding the war economy, and all actions must be taken to minimise this.

New Research: Supporting conflict-resilient food systems in Sudan Famine has been declared in Sudan and thousands of people are at risk of starvation. With the aid sector rapidly scaling up the response to support those affected and prevent the worst, those designing, funding and implementing programmes must support more conflict-resilient food systems.

تُعتبر African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) أداة حيوية في ضمان مساءلة الدول وتعزيز العدالة في جميع أنحاء إفريقيا. فمنذ تأسيسها، تناولت اللجنة مجموعة واسعة من القضايا الحرجة، من الحريات المدنية إلى التحديات الإجتماعية والإقتصادية، بهدف حماية المجتمعات الأكثر ضعفاً. يُبرز عمل اللجنة أهمية التزام الدول ويسلط الضوء على التحديات التي تواجه تنفيذ السياسات، خاصة في المناطق المتأثرة بالنزاعات. كما أن اللجنة تتكيف مع التحديات الجديدة، مثل الحقوق الرقمية والعدالة البيئية، مما يعكس التزامها بمواجهة الإحتياجات المتغيرة داخل المجتمعات الإفريقية. وعلى الرغم من هذه الجهود، تواجه اللجنة تحديات بسبب القيود المالية والضغوط السياسية. إن تعزيز الدعم لهذه الهيئات ضروري لتحقيق تقدم مستمر. تؤكد هذه الديناميكيات على الحاجة إلى نهج حساس للنزاعات في مجال المساعدات والتنمية. في وحدة حساسية النزاعات، نركز على ضمان أن هذه الجهود لا تؤدي إلى تفاقم التوترات، مما يسهم في تحقيق السلام. عملنا في وحدة حساسية النزاعات يركز على المشاركة الشاملة والتوزيع العادل للموارد، بهدف بناء القدرة على الصمود ودعم التنمية المستدامة في السودان. ومن خلال معالجة الأسباب الجذرية للنزاع، ينبغي أن تهدف المساعدات إلى تمكين المجتمعات وتعزيز مستقبل من السلام والإستقرار في السودان. إقرأ التقرير هنا ⬅ https://lnkd.in/dCV7zbTS

The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) has been instrumental in ensuring state accountability and promoting justice across Africa. Since its establishment, the ACHPR has addressed a range of critical issues, from civil liberties to socio-economic challenges, aiming to protect the most vulnerable communities. The Commission's work underscores the importance of state compliance and highlights the challenges faced in enforcing policies, especially in regions affected by conflict. The ACHPR also adapts to new challenges, such as digital rights and environmental justice, reflecting its commitment to addressing evolving needs within African societies. Despite these efforts, the ACHPR faces limitations due to resource constraints and political pressure. Strengthening support for such bodies is crucial for continued progress. These dynamics underscore the need for conflict-sensitive approaches in aid and development. At the Conflict Sensitivity Facility, we focus on ensuring that these efforts do not exacerbate tensions, contributing to peace. Our work at CSF emphasises inclusive participation and fair resource distribution, aiming to build resilience and support sustainable development in Sudan. By addressing the root causes of conflict, aid should aim to empower communities and foster a future of peace and stability in Sudan.
