Knowledge Reviews�

The Knowledge Review and Gap Analysis (KRGA) reports shed light on what is known about hunger and vulnerability in southern Africa and highlight areas where there are knowledge gaps. Covering the six focus countries, these reports present key findings on hunger and vulnerability (particularly those emerging out of national policy initiatives), summarise existing evidence, and offer recommendations for short- and longer-term policy interventions.

The reports were commissioned by RHVP and were undertaken by national consultants. They are designed to promote best use of what is known about hunger and vulnerability in the region, ensure that duplication of work already done is avoided, and identify key gaps in knowledge.

National Inventories�

An initial task for RHVP's country co-ordinators was to consolidate accessible information on the current 'state of play' of social protection. From this data, a set of inventories was prepared for each of the six countries. Each national inventory consists of five separate sections:

• Inventory of existing information systems related to food security, early warning and vulnerability;
• Inventory of key policies and strategies related to hunger and vulnerability, food security and social protection;
• Inventory of social protection programmes;
• Register of national stakeholders and potential partners;
• Bibliography of existing knowledge on the state of hunger and vulnerability.

National Inventories are working documents and are by no means definitive. The series will be updated from time to time and we welcome information that will help us improve their completeness and accuracy.
