This is an excellent Report, although belongs more in the academic setting rather than practical policy design and implementation context for attaining the stated objectives. The real issues begin around the middle of the Report.
As long the effectiveness and impact analyses are not adequately addressed with proper assessment of transaction costs, and as long as 'agency maximands' and 'internalities' (motivations, accountability and transparency) are not taken into account, formal approaches to providing Frameworks hardly get to the core of the issues.
Harping on external aid can be a last rather than first resort to the food security and nutritional enahncement of communities. Much greater integration of sustainable agricultural (especially horticultural) production in this context is called for. Similarly, resource-intensive (and often unsustainable) consumption (and food production) needs to be replaced by holistic patterns. What in the world comes in the way to produce more green foods, including drought-resistent nutrition such as leafy veggies and quinoa, and enable cost-effective augmentation of food and nutrition? Many factors may constitute obstacles but without exploring these win-win solutions (or low-hanging fruits) it is not very helpful to the attainment of food and nutritional security objectives.
This Report should have offered greater case-specific insights, including the transaction cost elements (with proper conceptualization of transaction costs).
