Did prior receipt of nutrition-sensitive social protection build resilience to COVID-19 in rural Bangladesh? por Ahmed, Akhter, Bakhtiar, M. Mehrab, Hoddinott, John F., Quabili, Wahid, Roy, Shalini

“…. • Our findings suggest that providing poor rural households in Bangladesh with sizable cash transfers of long duration alongside intensive complementary programming, such as nutrition BCC, may help them cope with future shocks. Thus, such programming may be a cost-effective strategy to reduce households’ immediate and future food and nutrition insecurity.…”

Subnational public expenditures, short-term household-level welfare, and economic resilience: Evidence from Nigeria por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Balana, Bedru, Smart, Jenny, Edeh, Hyacinth O., Oyeyemi, Motunrayo Ayowumi, Andam, Kwaw S.

“…These include improving certain nutritional outcomes, like household dietary diversity across seasons, and economic flexibility between farm and non-farm activities, which may be particularly important for building resilience in today’s rapidly changing socioeconomic environment due to shocks, including COVID19. Such multi-dimensional benefits of greater PE for agriculture are particularly worthy of attention in countries like Nigeria, which have historically allocated a lower share of total PE to agriculture than to health and other social welfare sectors and a lower share of total PE to agriculture compared to that allocated to agriculture in similar countries in Africa and elsewhere.…”

Impact of climate change on global food security and coping measures por Chen, Kevin Z., Shuang, Hu

“…Food price fluctuations and income shocks brought about by climate change reduce residents' purchasing power, affect residents' food demand and utilization methods, and lead to reduced meals, fewer meals, skipped meals, less nutritious foods, and more high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, high-energy foods to satisfy hunger. …”

Climate Change Gender Action Plan of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia por Tesfaye, Abonesh, Mohammed, Abas, Andoshe, Mohammed, Legesse, Ketema, Zewdie, Yihenew, Salih, Bashir, Mulatu, Ayalneh, Ambaw, Gebermedihin, Makonnen, Brook T., Huyer, Sophia, Aregu, Lemlem, Tesfaye, Lidya, Murombedzi, James, Amha, Yosef, Bekele, Tamirat, Belay, Berhanu, Bamanyaki, Patricia, Jelagat, Joyce, Barungi, Julian, Radeny, Maren, Solomon, Dawit

“…Ethiopia is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its dependency on rain-fed agriculture and natural resources and its low adaptive capacity to absorb climate change-induced shocks. Climate change impacts men and women differently, largely due to their gender-differentiated relative powers, roles and responsibilities at the household and community levels. …”

Uganda Gender Strategy: Building equitable climate-resilient African bean and insect sectors por Mugagga, Isaac, Ouya, Frederick, Babirye, Immaculate, Lutomia, Cosmas, Ketema, Dessalegn, Nchanji, Eileen

“…These factors interact with underlying structural inequalities, including gender and age-based disparities, shaping how different groups experience and respond to climatic shocks. Women and youth, who provide most of the labour in smallholder farming, face systematic disadvantages related to land tenure, access to production assets, climatic knowledge, and agribusiness opportunities (FAO, 2023; Mukembo et al., 2020). …”

Needs assessment Report: Development of Grazing & Feeding Advisory System; Water-availability prediction tools; Water Management Strategy Guide por Muñoz, Ángel G., Demissie, Teferi

“…As a result, timely and reliable seasonal grazing and feeding forecasts, when combined with operational feed budgeting and stocking rate advisory tools, can substantially reduce risk, improve preparedness, and strengthen resilience to climate variability and shocks (e.g., McGahey et al., 2014). However, feed availability in pastoral landscapes is highly variable both spatially and temporally. …”
