Abstract

Following the 1984 Sahelian drought the Network for Food Crisis Prevention was established by the Club du Sahel partners. The Network serves as a discussion arena for improving the ability to intervene in crisis situations. The report traces the Network's contribution to improving prevention and management mechanisms. Following an introduction chapters cover: the development of food security policies in the Sahel; information systems; food security consultation and coordination; food aid management; and conclusions and outlook.
