Disaster Studies Group Wageningen, 6706 KN (Gelderland), 38 hours per week
Job description
------------------------------
The research programme "From Food Aid to Food Security" is a collaboration
of Disaster Studies and Law and Governance groups of Wageningen University
and Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia. The programme aims to contribute to
ongoing reforms in food aid and food security policies through studying the
Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) and surrounding food security
policies in Ethiopia. Since 1984, annually more than 5 million people have
received food aid in this country, creating a situation of chronic food
insecurity. The new Food Security Policy envisages to protect people against
hunger and asset depletion, and lift them out of poverty. The research
programme consists of four subprojects and analyzes the linkages between
policies implementation and livelihood strategies of vulnerable populations
targeted by food security programmes. It is aimed to improve the performance
of institutional actors, by providing insights on the working of policy and
on the patterns of interaction between them. This will be ensured by an
elaborate communication plan for stakeholder dialogue.
The PhD candidate will implement a PhD research concerning linkages between
people's perceptions and practices to cope with food insecurity and food
security interventions, with a special focus on the PNSP programme.
Questions to be addressed are:
a) What are local practices and attitudes of various groups in dealing with
food insecurity?
b) How are these related to socio-economic differentiation and power?
c) What is the impact of interventions on food security and community
relations?
d) What is the impact of food security interventions on household capacities
for self-resilience to future shocks?
The project comprises 18 months of fieldwork in a highland region in
Ethiopia.
