| Urban Food Insecurity: Strategies for WFP Food Assistance to Urban Areas WFP/EB.A/2002/5-B |
| To address urban food insecurity WFP and its partners need to consider the factors that affect the food and livelihood security of the poor. These include greater dependency on cash income and less reliance on agriculture and natural resources low wages from work at insecure jobs a large number of women working outside the home legal obstacles including insecure land and housing tenure inadequate access to safe water sanitation and health services and frequently weak social networks that often transcend community boundaries. Moreover governments may not make safety-net programmes available to the poor living in illegal squatter settlements because they cannot or will not provide services to populations who are residing illegally. |
