Amanda Rives unpacks the root causes of the escalating food crisis, along with the consequences of shrinking aid, and urges international actors to renew their commitment to ending the hunger crisis

This article highlights the progress of a school feeding programme in the Greater Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. By promoting the use of locally grown, nutrient-rich crops such as cowpeas, cassava, and sweet potatoes, the initiative not only improves the nutritional quality of school meals but also strengthens community resilience and agricultural self-sufficiency. It showcases how different provinces like Kasaï Oriental, Kasaï Central, and Lomami are adapting crop choices based on local needs and market value. The article also emphasises the educational dimension of the programme and outlines how communities are taking ownership to sustain the initiative even during school holidays. Through a blend of nutrition, education, and local empowerment, the programme stands as a model for sustainable development.

To rethink how to effectively address food crises and showcase how the humanitarian system can update and re-imagine itself to meaningfully contribute to reversing the trends of acute hunger and reduce needs, ECOSOC Humanitarian Affairs Segment (HAS) had a side event focused on People-Driven Responses: The Effective Way to Combat Food Crises. World Vision, represented by Amanda Rives Argeñal, discussed the transformative potential of Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), as a preferred modality to meet recipients’ specific needs, specifically in protracted food crises, while offering flexibility, dignity, and cost effectiveness. 

Three out of four families reported better outcomes for their children, particularly in nutrition, health, and education, with over half of Syrian refugees crediting CVA for enabling continued schooling.
