Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23

~~23.~~ Notes that food and nutrition crises are becoming more frequent in the Sahel and Horn of Africa regions, where millions of people are without access to adequate food; points out that the 2011 Horn of Africa food crisis and the 2012 Sahel food crisis demonstrated that humanitarian assistance alone can neither break the cycle of chronic hunger and malnutrition nor address its root causes; stresses the importance of addressing the underlying causes of persistent food insecurity in these regions, namely poor access to appropriate basic services and education, acute poverty, inadequate support for small-scale agriculture and livestock keeping, land access problems, environmental degradation, rapid population growth, market failures, declining per capita food production and poor governance; stress that the underlying causes leading to food crises today are more complex than in the past, with, for example, market-related and prices shocks more frequent and more likely to affect poor people;

Paragraph 25

25. Welcomes both the joint development- humanitarian approach and the regional approach in the EU initiative ‘Supporting the Horn of Africa’s Resilience’ (SHARE) and in the EU-led Global Alliance for Resilience Initiative (AGIR) for the Sahel region; calls for even greater attention to be paid to these regions and for even better cooperation and coordination among national governments, international donors, civil society and the private sector in breaking down barriers between the development and the humanitarian approaches, between ‘normal’ and ‘crisis’ responses;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28 a (new)

28a. Notes the important contribution of mobile small-scale livestock keepers in producing meat, milk and blood in areas ill-suited to other forms of agriculture; stresses the important role they play in feeding communities and their positive contribution to food security and nutrition, shown by evidence from arid and semi-arid lands showing that children in pastoral areas tend to have better food security than those that are settled in cities and villages; calls therefore the rights and needs of these pastoral populations to be taken into account when designing agricultural interventions and programmes;
