Abstract AR
هدفت الدراسة إلى رصد أثر برنامج الإنذار المبكر للأمن الغذائي بولاية البحر الأحمر على السكان المحليين الذين استهدفهم البرنامج في العام 2011-2012.
و قد تم جمع البيانات الكمية و النوعية للأمن الغذائي من محليات طوكر و حلايب و ريفي محلية البحر الأحمر.
اتبعت الدراسة المنهج التحليلي و قد استخدمت أدوات الاستبيان و المقابلات مع إجراء مسوحات للأسواق المحلية في كل مجتمع بجانب تحليل موجهات برنامج جمع المعلومات عن الأسر المشاركة في برامج الرصد الشهري تحت مؤشرات و معايير الأمن الغذائي.
أوضحت النتائج ضعف استجابة المؤسسات الحكومية و المنظمات لضعف الأمن الغذائي و التغذوي في المحليات تحت الدراسة و قد تمثل الضعف في تقلص الإنتاج الزراعي و الحيواني و السمكي و نقص الأعلاف و ارتفاع أسعار الغذاء و في بيع الأغنام الصغيرة.
و قد لجأت معظم الأسر إلى استخدام وسائل الحماية من المخاطر إبان الأزمات المرتبطة بشح الأمطار و تأخر الاستجابة للكوارث الطبيعية و الإدارية للتواؤم مع استفحال الظاهرة مثل تقليص عدد الوجبات و بيع الحيوانات و بيع بعض الأصول التي تمتلكها الأسر.
