The Thematic Research
Teams were constituted under the provision of the NFPCSP. Within this framework, the TRTs
focus on four core food policy-related issues as follows:
TRT A: Food
Availability (FA);
TRT B: Physical and
Social Access to Food (PSA);
TRT C: Economic Access
to Food (EA);
TRT D: Utilization of
Food for Nutrition (UFN).
The tasks of the TRTs involve:
- Monitoring
reduction of food insecurity and progress towards the World Food Summit target
and the hunger Millennium Development Goals;
- Assessing the
cost effectiveness of activities designed to improve economic access to food,
physical and social access to food, ensure an adequate supply of safe and
nutritious food;
- Formulating new
programmes and/or modifications or expansions in existing ones that are found
through analysis and research to have the potential to accelerate the pace
towards the hunger reduction target and goal.
The Technical
Assistance Team (TAT) under the NFPCSP
supports
FPMU
and the
TRTs by
participating in team activities.
