Recommendations for addressing "Good Governance" to improve food security for the typical Sudanese family: Shift the amount of government spending. I am not positive about what the government is currently spending all of it's money on, but it is obviously not food and it is not beneficial to the starving people of Sudan. Find out what the money is being spent on, and spend more on nutritional meals and transporting them to malnourished people.
One local project in Sudan that could be scaled up successfully: "the water project" working to provide food and water to African countries in need (national/global project). More local than that is the Food Bank of Iowa.
Suggestions for the appropriate role of communities, national government, and organizations in implementing recommendations: The role of communities could be (in Sudan) to possibly come together and organize a way to raise food for themselves, not for sale, since their whole output of the country is agricultural products. Worry about raising food for themselves, not raising food to sell and get money for. The National Government comes in to play largely in my topic, because the Sudanese government is quite corrupt, and if things were organized and spending was transferred to the people in need things may be much better off. Organizations could provide food for the Sudanese people that are malnourished all throughout the country. (Such as "The Water Project")
How the typical family can be involved in implementing my recommendations: As I see it, the typical family needs to fend for themselves. If they are currently farming and then selling that food to make a profit, they need to farm for themselves and consume the majority if not all of their food. If that is not the case, and they can not even farm enough for themselves, then they need to reach out. If they are truly helpless in their own abilities, they must find away to alert the government or other agencies of their extreme hardships and find someone who is willing to do something for them. They must not back sit back and remain helpless.

What are the factors effecting agriculture production there? Small plots of land? Weather? Lack of modern equipment and techniques? What role does the government play in Sudan as far as agriculture?
ReplyDeleteMore depth is explored in further blogs about the specific agricultural difficulties. Government plays no role in agriculture because of lack of funds and lack of attention to regions outside of Khartoum.
