Subject: Livelihoods

An interesting report that examines the future form of climate action.  Thie paper seeks to  join the dots on climate action, food security and poverty reduction.  It also poses the question: what happened in Cancun and what’s at stake in Durban?

 

This resource focuses on the inter linkages between food security, nutrition and HIV. It is targeted at our Programme Officers and our partners working on HIV programmes and/or Livelihood Programmes.

The resource aims to strengthen understanding of the relationship between food security, nutrition and HIV using information drawn from a wide range of resources referenced throughout the document. It outlines possible programme responses for consideration and shares examples drawn from our HIV and Livelihoods programmes in different countries.

In our globalised world the basic right to adequate food is denied to more than a billion people. This statistic represents the highest level of chronically hungry people recorded since 1970.

This paper outlines our focus, strategy and approach to livelihoods work and is intended to serve as a guide for both staff and partners. While providing a global framework for livelihoods work, it allows scope for the development of context specific programmes.

This publication is based on information collected by Trócaire and highlights how climate change is affecting our work in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
