
A food secure southern Africa free from hunger and poverty
Mission


To promote appropriate agricultural and natural resources
policy in order to reduce poverty, increase food security and
enhance sustainable agricultural development in the SADC
region
To promote evidence based policy development in the Food
Agriculture and Natural Resources sector
How



facilitating linkages and partnerships between government
and civil society
building the capacity for policy analysis and policy dialogue in
southern Africa
Create capacity to demand evidence for policy development
1. The Household Vulnerability Index (HVI)
The challenge of multiple vulnerabilities faced by rural
communities, e.g. HIV/AIDS, climate change
 Measuring household vulnerability
 Evidence to inform policy development and response
interventions
HVI tool
 A tool to assess household vulnerability on the basis of the five
livelihoods assets (human, financial, natural, physical and social)
 Measures the vulnerability of households and communities to the
impact of diseases and shocks such as HIV/AIDS, erratic
weather patterns and poverty
 A total of 15 variables (called dimensions) are assessed, and a
statistical score is calculated for each household.
 The result, the HVI, is used to classify households into 3
categories: low , moderate and high vulnerability
 HVI tool pilot in Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe (2009 – 2010)
Results from HVI pilot assessments
(Swaziland)
Roll out of HVI tool




Lesotho: UNICEF to use HVI to target 60,000 of the 200,000
OVCs in the country for social protection (cash grants,
bursaries, nutrition support, etc.)
FANRPAN: to use HVI data for modelling climate change
impact scenarios. Results to be used to generate evidencebased policies and programmes to assist vulnerable
households to manage the risk and vulnerability associated
with climate change
Support academia and research institutes to engage in policy
analysis
Stimulate policy makers to demand research evidence to
inform policy processes
2.
The Platform for African – European Partnership in Agricultural
Research for Development

Objective: to build joint African-European multi-stakeholder
