Conflict-induced hunger has been increasingly highlighted at a global level and prioritised as a key issue within crisis-affected contexts. InterAction and its partners are undertaking a multi-country action-based research study that includes helping organisations analyse the protection risks in each country context and develop context-specific theories of change. These will underpin outcome-oriented ways of working to address protection issues precipitated by conflict-induced food insecurity. Findings from the study will help humanitarians take immediate action at a country-level, while also influencing global policy and practice in humanitarian action.
The urgency of the issue requires that any research undertaken goes beyond theoretical discussions and global analysis. The research uses participatory tools to work with communities to understand protection risks and the links to conflict driven food insecurity. InterAction’s Results Based Protection approach forms the basis for this analysis, so that findings can lead to immediate action by humanitarians that are operational in the country contexts studied. This study is carried out in Niger and Colombia.
