Food Crisis Prevention Network Recommendations

The Food Crisis Prevention Network (RPCA) brings together the main food security actors in the Sahel and West Africa (representatives of bi-lateral and multi-lateral aid agencies, international/sub-regional organisations and regional systems monitoring food security, specialised NGOs and farmer organisations). It provides a forum for discussion as well as open and informal strategic thinking, a place for exchanging views, examining and analysing information, a space for consultation on actions to undertake in order to prevent and manage possible food crises.

The RPCA is co-managed by the Sahel and West Africa Club (SWAC/OECD) and the Inter-State Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS).
