19th ALNAP Meeting (June 2006)
'Transition’ is used to refer both to the post-emergency phase, and to post-conflict transition. The issues in the former case are often about the phasing out of food inputs to allow and recognise return to ‘normality’; and in the latter to do with the use of food security strategies to support, for example, DDR, access to land, return, peace and reconciliation. What lessons have been learnt that will help improve synergies between the different types of strategies, policies and activities that are used by both the humanitarian and developmental community as a bridge between these transitional phases?
