Abstract

Widespread hunger and malnutrition persist today despite considerable growth in per capita food availability. This has prompted an evolving conceptualization of food security and of mechanisms to attain and maintain food security. The study aimed at establishing food security and food intervention programs designed to respond to the threat of hunger. The primary objective of the study focused on the effects of food intervention programs on food security in Nassir County, South Sudan. The specific objectives of the study were guided by four variables; emergency response programs, mid-term intervention, long term food intervention and coping strategies. The Theory of Change and Stakeholders Theory anchored the study variables. The descriptive research design was adopted, and in the process proved significant in establishing the existing relationship between the variables. The study target population was 9,996 individuals obtained from different institutions as outlined. A sample of 370 individuals was considered by the researcher. The reliability tool was determined by the use of SPSS Software version 25. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in percentages, mean and standard deviation. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The study used inferential statistics to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that an emergency response program with p=0.489 has a weak insignificant positive effect on food security in Nassir County. Secondly, mid-term food intervention with an r (215), =0.048, p=0.001>0.05 showed that there was significant and positive moderate effect on food security. Thirdly, long-term food security intervention with a r (215)=.208, p=.003 showed that there was a significant and positive moderate effect on food security. Finally, coping strategies with a (r(215) =-.17. p=.807>0.05) demonstrated that there is an adverse (negative) effect on food security. The study recommended that a multi-sector response with a lens for relief, development and peace initiatives would be effective in addressing food security.

南苏丹纳赛尔县粮食安全粮食干预项目
尽管人均粮食供应有了相当大的增长,但今天普遍的饥饿和营养不良仍然存在。这促使对粮食安全和实现和维持粮食安全的机制的概念不断演变。这项研究旨在建立食品安全和食品干预项目,以应对饥饿的威胁。该研究的主要目标是关注粮食干预计划对南苏丹Nassir县粮食安全的影响。研究的具体目标由四个变量指导;应急计划,中期干预,长期粮食干预和应对策略。变化理论和利益相关者理论锚定了研究变量。采用描述性研究设计,在建立变量之间存在关系的过程中被证明具有重要意义。研究的目标人群是9996个人,他们来自不同的机构。研究人员考虑了370个人的样本。采用SPSS软件25版确定信度工具。定量数据采用描述性统计进行分析,并以百分比、平均值和标准差表示。收集的数据使用描述性统计进行分析,并以百分比、平均值和标准差表示。该研究使用推论统计来检验这些假设。研究发现,当p=0.489时,应急响应计划对Nassir县的粮食安全有微弱的不显著的正向影响。其次,中期粮食干预对粮食安全有显著的正向调节作用,r (215) =0.048, p=0.001>0.05。第三,长期粮食安全干预,r(215)=。208, p =。003表明对粮食安全有显著的正中等效应。最后,应对策略的a (r(215) =- 0.17。P =.807>0.05)表明对粮食安全存在不利(负面)影响。该研究建议,以救济、发展与和平倡议为视角的多部门反应将有效解决粮食安全问题。关键词:应急计划,中期干预,长期干预,应对策略,粮食安全引文:Nyataya, B., Obwatho, S., Kimani, G.,等;奥本加,F.(2023)。南苏丹纳赛尔县粮食安全粮食干预项目。商业战略杂志;变革管理,10(3),155 - 171。
