Monitoring report round 6 |
| Abstract |
Fosenet monitoring for February 2003 is drawn from 132 monitoring reports from 53 districts in February 2003 and 147 monitoring reports from 58 districts in March 2003. The reports indicate a small improvement in rural food security in March 2003 due to some harvest yields of pumpkins, vegetables and green mealies and due to widening relief cover. These yields were reported to have had little noticeable effect yet on household food stocks. This round also highlights the contrast between the harmful impact of leaving poor households to ‘fend for themselves’ and the positive social and community efforts being made in some areas. Collective responses are reported to be hampered by lack of transparency and responsiveness from state structures, political intolerance and exclusion and lack of investment and information. This round highlights the need to ensure ethical and equitable food access in urban areas and to strengthen community mechanisms to protect and widen ethical approaches to food access. |
