Happy to share that our work, titled “The State of Food and Humanitarian Crises: Insights from Afghanistan,” has been featured in the proceedings of the Working Group on "Food and Humanitarian Crises: Science and Policies for Prevention and Mitigation". The conference hosted by the Vatican-based Pontifical Academy of Sciences brought together thought leaders, researchers, and policymakers to address the pressing global challenge of food insecurity. Published by the prestigious Pontifical Academy of Sciences of the Vatican, the comprehensive proceedings highlight critical situations, including the case of Afghanistan. They explore the interplay of science, policy, and on-the-ground realities to inform strategies for preventing and mitigating such crises. https://lnkd.in/eaHS7SwU #HumanitarianCrisis #FoodSecurity #SustainableDevelopment #Afghanistan Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung / Center for Development Research (ZEF)

If you are wondering whether all those livelihood intervention types are important and how they are sequenced for impact.. look no further. we got you through this webinar!

In the past 2 years, Patricia Justino, Kalle Hirvonen, and I have led the project *Strengthening safety nets in post-conflict and humanitarian contexts* (https://lnkd.in/dM6iPcVr). All the working papers will be published in the shared link, and at UNU-WIDER - United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research social media profiles. The project's goal was to assess the effectiveness of social policies, particularly cash transfer programs, in supporting economic resilience and reducing the threat of violence in post-conflict and humanitarian settings. So far, we have published 7 working papers, and 8 more will be published in the next few weeks. The papers will contribute to understanding the topic in many African countries, with a particular focus on Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Zambia.

Please join AVSI-USA, American Institutes for Research, and Trickle Up for the third webinar in our Graduating to Resilience Activity Learning Series where our team discusses how to sequence livelihood interventions to maximize effectiveness!
