■提格雷是粮食不安全的地区之一,许多人生活在长期饥饿的条件下。适当的干预机制对于解决粮食不安全问题至关重要。然而,各级食品安全干预机制研究不到位。此外,以前的研究很少涉及与粮食安全四大支柱相关的粮食安全干预机制的目标:access,利用率,和稳定性。因此,本研究旨在调查提格雷易干旱农村地区的粮食安全干预机制与粮食安全的主要组成部分。
■本研究采用了基于主要和次要数据的混合研究方法的横断面研究设计。为此,来自三个选定的干旱多发农村地区的363户家庭,即,Atsbi-wenberta,Irob,和Hintalo-wejerat进行了研究。主要数据是通过问卷调查和关键线人访谈收集的。And,次要数据来自相关档案和政策文件。对获得的数据进行描述性和内容分析。
研究结果表明,有几项国际干预措施旨在通过财政援助可持续地遏制粮食不安全,但是发现许多干预措施是对人道主义危机的回应,主要是粮食短缺。埃塞俄比亚的粮食和营养政策,粮食安全计划,粮食安全战略,和粮食安全包计划是国家层面的粮食安全干预机制。发现这些干预措施在其预期目标上彼此不一致。区域,没有发现粮食安全战略或计划干预提格雷普遍存在的粮食不安全状况。更值得注意的是,该地区没有负责该地区粮食安全问题的粮食安全局或办公室。在社区层面,粮食援助,和PSNP转移一直是通常的粮食安全干预机制。在研究的农村地区,有35.6%(77,010)的人口被发现是PSNP的农村受益者。粮食援助和PSNP转移远远不足以使受援国应对粮食不安全。
■干预机制应侧重于增强弱势家庭应对粮食安全问题的应对和适应能力。在这方面,各级粮食安全干预机制应纳入实现粮食安全的共同目标。
UNASSIGNED: Tigray is one of the food-insecure regions with many people living under the condition of chronic hunger. Proper intervention mechanisms are vital for addressing food insecurity. Yet, food security intervention mechanisms of various levels are not researched well. Besides, previous studies have rarely addressed the objectives of food security intervention mechanisms in relation to the four pillars of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability. Thus, this study aims to investigate the food security intervention mechanisms in the drought-prone rural areas of Tigray in relation with the major components of food security.
UNASSIGNED: This study has employed a cross-sectional study design based on a mixed research approach with primary and secondary data. For this, 363 households from three selected drought-prone rural districts, i.e., Atsbi-wenberta, Irob, and Hintalo- wejerat were studied. Primary data were collected using questionnaires and key-informant interviews. And, secondary data were collected from relevant archives and policy documents. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively and content-wise.
UNASSIGNED: Findings show that there were several international interventions intended to halt food insecurity sustainably through financial aid, but many of the interventions were found to be responding to humanitarian crises mainly the food shortages. Ethiopia\'s Food and Nutrition Policy, Food Security Program, Food Security Strategy, and Food Security Pack program were the food security intervention mechanisms at the national level. These interventions were found to be inconsistent with each other in their intended goals. Regionally, no food security strategy or program was found intervening to the prevailing food insecurity in Tigray. More notably, the region has no food security bureau or office that deals with food security issues of the region. At a community level, food aid, and PSNP transfers have been the usual food security intervention mechanisms. 35.6% (77,010) of the population in the study rural districts were found to be rural PSNP beneficiaries. The food aid and PSNP transfers were outrageously insufficient for the recipients to cope with food insecurity.
UNASSIGNED: Intervention mechanisms should focus on enhancing vulnerable households\' coping and adaptive capacities to deal with food security problems. In this regard, all the food security intervention mechanisms of various levels should be integrated into the common goal of achieving food security.
