PhD Position in Disaster Studies Wageningen University and Researchcentre Disaster Studies Group Wageningen, 6706 KN (Gelderland), 38 hours per week
Job description
------------------------------
The research programme "From Food Aid to Food Security" is a collaboration of Disaster Studies and Law and Governance groups of Wageningen University and Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia. The programme aims to contribute to ongoing reforms in food aid and food security policies through studying the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) and surrounding food security policies in Ethiopia. Since 1984, annually more than 5 million people have received food aid in this country, creating a situation of chronic food insecurity. The new Food Security Policy envisages to protect people against hunger and asset depletion, and lift them out of poverty. The research programme consists of four subprojects and analyzes the linkages between
policies implementation and livelihood strategies of vulnerable populations targeted by food security programmes. It is aimed to improve the performance of institutional actors, by providing insights on the working of policy and on the patterns of interaction between them. This will be ensured by an elaborate communication plan for stakeholder dialogue.
The PhD candidate will implement a PhD research concerning linkages between people's perceptions and practices to cope with food insecurity and food security interventions, with a special focus on the PNSP programme. Questions to be addressed are:
a) What are local practices and attitudes of various groups in dealing with food insecurity?
b) How are these related to socio-economic differentiation and power?
c) What is the impact of interventions on food security and community relations?
d) What is the impact of food security interventions on household capacities for self-resilience to future shocks?
The project comprises 18 months of fieldwork in a highland region in Ethiopia.
