Household Food and Nutrition Security Strategic Framework, Cape Town

Community Food Committees for urban health and nutrition

The Household Food and Nutrition Security Strategic Framework represented a dramatic departure from South African food security policy and programming, calling for explicitly transversal governance approaches to address food security through food system interventions. Not only was the approach within the document novel, but so was the approach to framework development. The strategic framework was extensively workshopped within government and beyond. The government then sought to develop an implementation strategy through a series of facilitated stakeholder engagements.
