Abstract

Recurrent natural hazards have negative consequences for poor and food insecure people in Central America. Despite well-established reoccurrences and consequences, they are still often treated as out-of-the-normal events that require out-of-normal response. However, people living in the areas, where recurrent hazards impact, do not perceive the floods as out-of-the-normal. They are recurrent and part of life.

World Food Programme (WFP) is implementing The Integrated Road Map, which is WFP's new strategic, financial and reports framework to support the strengthening of the humanitarian-development nexus. Part of the IRM is the Country Strategic Plan (CSP), which specifies the strategic results that WFP will help achieve in progressing towards national and global zero hunger targets (SDG 2), and prioritizes actions for attaining these strategic results.

This Project is a collaboration between WFP Honduras, University College Copenhagen and the Autonomous National University of Honduras and we look at how emergency preparedness and response can be improved through a coordinated process between the different actors of the CSP. Particular areas of interest are:
a) How localization and participation can bridge the humanitarian development nexus
b) Partnerships as a mechanism to provide timely, appropriate and relevant response
c) Efficient targeting of the people most in need
