South Africa’s food security plan fell short
By The BriefBrief · Sources (1)
An analysis of South Africa’s National Food and Nutrition Security Plan for 2018–2023 says it largely was not implemented. A national council established to coordinate the work never met, no implementation budget was provided, and missing data made it difficult to assess most objectives; the article also cites fragmented monitoring and provincial bottlenecks.
