From colonial ploughs to NGO projects
Increasing evidence shows global food systems are not functioning sustainably, contributing to malnutrition, environmental degradation and increased vulnerability. This raises stakes for policy-makers and activists to develop coherent, sustainable policies and programmes to build resilience. However, insufficient understanding of food systems complexity, combined with persistent faith in modernisation as development paradigm, has led to intervent…
Indicators and actions to address stunting across multiple sectors relevant at subnational level
This qualitative study aimed to draft a set of indicators and actions for subnational level governments to address childhood stunting. It spans three domains: law, policy, and finance. Sub-domains include food control, political economy, agriculture and food systems, education, nutrition, water, sanitation and environment, health, social protection, and finance and governance. Provincial officials, responsible for child wellness policies, were in…
Implementation matters
BACKGROUND: Undernutrition in early childhood can be reduced when large-scale, nutrition-sensitive programs are delivered with adequate dose, reach, fidelity, and recruitment. OBJECTIVES: This study (i) investigates the implementation and impact pathways of four nutrition-sensitive programs in Kebbi and Anambra states, Nigeria: Early Childhood Development Education (ECCDE), Environmental Sanitation, Skills Acquisition, and Agricultural Transforma…
The anti-politics of food in South Africa
Objective: To examine power and governance arrangements in food and nutrition policy formulation and agenda-setting in South Africa Design: Analysis of the policy implementation environment and in-depth interviews were conducted focussing on: existing policy content and priorities across food system sectors; institutional structures for cross-sectoral and external stakeholder engagement; exercise of power in relation to food system policies; and …
A Qualitative Exploratory Study of the Political Commitment for Nutrition Programming
In Nigeria, varying levels of malnutrition across states present a critical challenge to public health, demanding tailored policy responses. This paper delves into the specific issues and dynamics influencing nutrition programs in the country. Advocating for nutrition-sensitive actions requires analyzing context-specific political commitment. This article presents a case study on two Nigerian states with varying malnutrition profiles to explore t…

Leveraging the potential of wild food for healthy, sustainable, and equitable local food systems
Food insecurity and diet-related diseases do not only have detrimental effects to human health, but are also underpinned by food systems that are environmentally unsustainable and culturally disconnected. Ensuring access to a healthy, affordable, and sustainable diet is one of the greatest challenges facing many low- and middle-income countries such as South Africa. These challenges in accessing a diverse diet often persist despite biocultural ri…
Food System Transformation
Sustainably achieving the goal of global food security is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. The current food system is failing to meet the needs of people, and at the same time, is having far-reaching impacts on the environment and undermining human well-being in other important ways. It is increasingly apparent that a deep transformation in the way we produce and consume food is needed in order to ensure a more just and sustain…
A qualitative analysis of perceptions of various stakeholders on nutrition-sensitive agricultural interventions, including the taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), to improve overall health a…
Overall, perceptions with regard to combining the taxation on SSBs with nutrition-sensitive agricultural policies to improve overall health and nutrition in South Africa were positive. Although participants questioned the feasibility of combining these policies, it was viewed as a way to combat alleged collateral damage linked to the tax, with a specific focus on developing small-scale farmers. More research into these combined policy approaches …
Learning for transitions
Roughly eight hundred million youth are projected to enter the African job market by 2050. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge for urgently needed sustainability transitions on the continent, because with appropriate training and skills this youth bulge could be instrumental in driving systemic change. By training the youth in new practices and approaches, they could be central to creating new systems and African futures that are mo…
Transformative spaces in the making
Creating a just and sustainable planet will require not only small changes, but also systemic transformations in how humans relate to the planet and to each other, i.e., social–ecological transformations. We suggest there is a need for collaborative environments where experimentation with new configurations of social–ecological systems can occur, and we refer to these as transformative spaces. In this paper, we seek a better understanding of how …
Deactivation of field cultivation in communal areas of South Africa
What does an enabling environment for infant and young child nutrition look like at implementation level? Perspectives from a multi-stakeholder process in the Breede Valley Sub-District, Western Cape,…
The study illustrated that knowledge and evidence; politics and governance; and capacity and resources, elements of the international definition of an enabling environment, also apply at implementation level. In addition, our findings indicated that a people-centred approach is critical in shaping the enabling environment at this level

Dietary diversity of formal and informal residents in Johannesburg, South Africa
Respondents in the informal settlements were more nutritionally vulnerable. Achieving nutrition security requires policies, strategies and plans to include specific nutrition considerations
Who cares? HIV-related sickness, urban–rural linkages, and the gendered role of care in return migration in South Africa
Drawing on a 2008 household study conducted with internal and cross-border migrant households in Johannesburg, South Africa, this article explores the impact of HIV-related sickness and the gendered provision of care on migration patterns. Findings show that the provision of care helps to sustain links between the livelihood systems of urban and rural households. In times of sickness, many migrants choose to return to their household of origin, t…
Key to a good life’ or just a bad investment? How do carers of children view and value education in the context of high HIV and Aids
In the face of a generalized Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Virus (AIDS) epidemic in Southern Africa, children's education is viewed increasingly as a key area of concern as well as a potential opportunity for HIV intervention. However, the relationship between HIV and AIDS and education is a complex one, as the epidemic may influence educational indicators negatively through multiple pathways. This paper focuse…

Broadening Psychology's Contribution to Addressing Issues of HIV/Aids, Poverty and Nutrition
HIV/AIDS, more than any other public health problem, challenges dominant models of the role of psychology in health promotion and prevention. This paper focuses on poverty and resulting food insecurity as a structural risk factor for HIV infection. The paper considers the role of health psychology in global health concerns and argues that, while individual-based interventions are important, health psychology needs to shift to playing a proper rol…
Strengthening families to support children affected by HIV and Aids
This paper provides an overview of the arguments for the central role of families, defined very broadly, and we emphasise the importance of efforts to strengthen families to support children affected by HIV and AIDS. We draw on work conducted in the Joint Learning Initiative on Children and AIDS's Learning Group 1: Strengthening Families, as well as published data and empirical literature to provide the rationale for family strengthening. We clos…
Multiple stressors in Southern Africa
Several countries in Southern Africa now see large numbers of their population barely subsisting at poverty levels in years without shocks, and highly vulnerable to the vagaries of the weather, the economy and government policy. The combination of HIV/AIDS, food insecurity and a weakened capacity for governments to deliver basic social services has led to the region experiencing an acute phase of a long-term emergency. "Vulnerability" is a term c…

Les questions foncières en Afrique du Sud
L’Afrique du Sud a une politique de réforme foncière ambitieuse. Au lendemain de la suppression officielle de l’apartheid, le but de cette politique était de corriger les déséquilibres raciaux du régime foncier, de développer le secteur agricole et d’améliorer les conditions de vie des catégories les plus pauvres de la population. Cependant, malgré une dizaine d’années d’annonces et de mise en œuvre de la réforme foncière, celle-ci n’a fait que t…
