Project Results
Two background papers and a presentation to FAO-SOFA 2015
IPC-IG background papers and expert advice during consultations and reviews made along 2014 resulted in two final papers delivered to FAO.
The two papers, entitled: 1) “The role of targeting in social protection programmes: what have we learned so far?”, and 2) “Food assistance and institutional demand: supporting smallholder farmers to fight hunger and boost agricultural production” look at key issues of social protection programmes and how they are related to agricultural growth and hunger eradication for beneficiaries as well as non-beneficiaries.
