Focus Area 3.7 Resilient food systems in humanitarian contexts
Sub-focus Area 3.7.1 Protecting the most vulnerable to malnutrition in humanitarian contexts
Recommendation Number: 3.7.1.a
Governments and intergovernmental organizations should pay particular attention, to protection issues, and ensure safe and unhindered access to safe, nutritious food and nutritional support to the most vulnerable groups and implement community based nutrition education activities to address malnutrition in humanitarian contexts and should foster access to productive resources and to markets that are remunerative and beneficial to smallholders. This could include using local and sustainably produced food, when possible and when conditions permit. Food should never be used as an instrument for political or economic pressure, and governments should undertake efforts to ensure access to safe and unhindered access to safe drinking water for all, including those in emergency situations, and reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity.
