Title: HFA and emergencies in urban settings

By Devrig VELLY

Please make your comments below. These will be used in the discussion planned during our annual PANIS meeting on the 26/11/2014 during the session no. 7 Strategy Development for each of the 4 priority themes

Problem Statement:

The unplanned growth observed in many urban agglomerations is putting at risks vulnerable populations especially in prone disasters/densely inhabited areas.

In an increasingly urbanized world (experts’ estimates that the world urban population is expected to increase from 3.6b to 6.3b by 2050 source UN) analytical tools and response options should be adapted. For the time being there is still confusion within the Community of Practice on what urban means in emergency and recovery situations.

Main gaps identified include:

1) Clear criteria for identification of vulnerable neighbourhoods;

2) How to take differences in food consumption within the household into account and how to account for more complex food consumption patterns (including street food and other processed food);

3) How to capture the diversity of earnings existing; and

4). To identify coping strategies more typically used in urban areas.

Required Change: (the vision -where we would like to be in 2-3 years time regarding this topic)

ECHO has contributed to the development of standard (sphere companion?) set of guidelines on HFA analysis & interventions in urban areas.

Strategy: (how can we make this change possible)

- Unpack the main recommendations from recent desk review and urban project proposal from the FSL in urban settings WG.

- Support and potentially expand the FSL in Urban Settings Working Group

- Engage with appropriate stakeholders and possibly the private sector

- Provide ERC funding to materialize projects and build good practices for implementers and donors.

Support an internal policy development and advocacy plan with other donors

Conclusion: (why is this topic important for HFA in ECHO)

The major recent emergencies in urban areas highlighted the needs to improve the humanitarian response. There are issues around the necessary adaptation of assessments and targeting methodologies in order to fully understand the characteristics of urban food security. Rapid urbanization is having an impact on diet habits with consequences on production and food systems (as well as impact on livelihoods and coping strategies)which is of interest for Panis overall.

Although rather complex topic, recent studies have concluded on significant differences in programming for both rural and urban environments therefore the necessity to adapt the tools available to the international community.
