HBKU’s CPP discusses new research methods to strengthen Ethiopia’s future food security

Doha: The College of Public Policy (CPP) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) held a panel discussion on food security issues in Ethiopia on September 22, aiming to create awareness and share information about the humanitarian crisis unfolding across the country, stemming from acute food insecurity, among other factors.

The event brought together renowned academics and policy experts to delve into Ethiopia’s chronic food insecurity, its gendered aspects, and the contribution of productive safety net programmes, such as the Rural Productive Safety Net Programme (RPSNP) and the Urban Productive Safety Net Programme (UPSNP).

The discussion culminated in a talk by Dr. Logan Cochrane, associate professor at CPP and author of the new book ‘Ethiopia and Food Security: What We Know, How We Know It, and Future Options’.
