La Filière arachide en Haïti peut-elle résister au « don » américain? Analyse d'économie politique
Rezime: Nan lane 2016, gouvènman ameriken an te anonse yon don 500 tòn pistach bay Ayiti ke sechrès te frape akòz fenomèn El Niño a. Òganizasyon sosyete sivil ayisyen an ak òganizasyon entènasyonal non-gouvènmantal (ONG) yo eksprime enkyetid yo ke donasyon an ta menase mwayen pou Ayisyen yo viv. Rechèch te fèt pou pi byen konprann sektè pistach ayisyen an ak ekonomi politik kado sila a. Nan peyi Ayiti, aktè ki nan sektè sa a travay nan yon kontèk…
Society for the Protection of the Health of the Jewish Population (OSE)
The essay's primary purpose is to bring to the attention of readers interested in the history of the Jewish people that the dramatic 20th century is not only the victims of the Holocaust–and not only the heroism of the military on the battlefields. It is active resistance to barbarism–the rescue of defenseless people through daily civilian activities, nevertheless associated with a constant risk to life. This paper examines non-political and non-…
"Flash blending" development finance
Aid donors, development advocates, and finance experts increasingly look to the private sector to fill the estimated $2.5 trillion annual Sustainable Development Goals financing gap, an amount likely to increase due to effects of COVID-19. Donors use a variety of partnerships with the private sector to realise development objectives. We use the term donor–private partnerships (DPPs) to describe the broad range of arrangements between donors and p…
Promoting country ownership and inclusive growth? An assessment of Feed the Future
This article investigates the level of country ownership and inclusivity in Feed the Future (FtF) projects in Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Senegal, and Tanzania. It finds that though interventions largely align with country-defined priorities and plans, other aspects of country ownership – consultation and provision of aid through local systems – are weaker than expected. Regarding inclusion, FtF is to some extent exclusive, perhaps as an unintended c…
Global food-price shocks and poor people - an overview
Hunger has been on the rise since the mid-1990s, due to a variety of factors, including a lack of policy attention and a sense of complacency generated by long-term real declines in food prices. Food prices rose sharply after 2006, and there is considerable controversy over the reasons why. Analysts have pointed to a number of factors as possible causes, including rising fuel prices, diversion of food crops into biofuels, speculation, increased m…
Understanding and responding to the links between conflict and hunger
Rising food prices in the late 2000s sparked protests, sometimes violent, around the globe. These public expressions of outrage were only the tip of the iceberg. Many countries have a legacy of food wars. In sub-Saharan Africa, at least 14 countries faced severe food insecurity as a result of conflict, civil strife, forced displacement, or damage from past wars. Armed violence leads to ongoing cycles of food loss which have an impact on food avai…
The Food, Fuel, and Financial Crises Affect the Urban and Rural Poor Disproportionately
The food price crisis and urban food (in)security
Both national and international policy responses to the rapid food price increases in 2007 and the first half of 2008 did little to address the very serious impacts on low-income urban dwellers. The speeches, declarations, plans and pledges duly noted the vulnerability of poor urban dwellers to food price rises, as they rely primarily on market purchases for their food (much more so than rural dwellers) and food purchases account for the bulk of …
Renegotiating the Food Aid Convention
The current global agreement governing food aid—the Food Aid Convention (FAC)—will expire in 2007. It has come under heavy criticism as has the diffuse set of broader food aid governance institutions that has emerged in the last 50 years. These institutions are characterized by overlapping mandates, differing degrees of authority and legitimacy, varied levels of transparency in decision-making, and problematic representation of the major stakehol…
Conflict, Food Insecurity and Globalization
In this article, we examine the links among food insecurity, globalization and conflict. We summarize and critically evaluate existing studies on conflict as a cause of food insecurity; food insecurity as a cause of conflict; and the relationship between conflict and globalization. Next, we analyze country-level, historical contexts that implicate export crops, e.g. coffee and cotton, in triggering and perpetuating conflict. These cases suggest t…
