Unlike international humanitarian organisations, the African Union considers food security from a development perspective, due to its status as a political organisation. It therefore has a framework of public policies which forms the basis of its action to promote food security in Africa. This framework incorporates the political and strategic guidelines laid down by the political authorities. However, the abundance of political discourse on food security within this organisation is not convincing enough about the effectiveness of its action on the ground. What is even more interesting is to understand the coherence and implementation factors of the organisation's actions, in particular the programmes and the institutional resources that accompany them. By addressing an issue that has received little attention in the scientific literature on the work of the African Union, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics by which the African Union intervenes to resolve the problems of food insecurity in Africa.
