The Regional Hunger and Vulnerability Programme (RHVP) was designed in response to concerns that the problems underlying chronic food insecurity cannot be addressed satisfactorily simply by providing emergency food assistance in a region that is prone to drought and generally unable to secure commercial imports without severe budgetary consequences. The Programme, which ran from July 2005 to December 2011, aimed to bring evidence and information on hunger and vulnerability, and on social protection responses, into policy spaces to inform a wider range of responses to hunger.  This wealth of valuable resources is available below.
