Afganistan'ın Doğu Bölgesinde Gıda Güvenliğini Etkileyen Faktörler

Öz

Hanehalkı gıda güvensizliği son yıllarda Afganistan'da özellikle doğu bölgesinde çok sayıda faktörün neden olduğu önemli bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Afganistan'ın doğu bölgesindeki hanehalkı düzeyinde gıda güvenliğini etkileyen faktörleri incelemek ve analiz etmektir. Bu çalışmada, Afganistan hükümeti ve uluslararası kuruluşların ortaklaşa yürüttükleri ve Afganistan'ın Doğu Bölgesinde 49 ilçede 99310'dan fazla kişiden oluşan 9774 hanehalklarıyla gerçekleştirilen anketler kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, gıda güvensizliğinin kritik faktörlerinin güvensizlik, yoksulluk; sürdürülemez geçim kaynakları, iş imkanı eksikliği; düşük ücret ve gelir, kırsal alanlarda topraksızlık ve büyük mülteci ve yaşadığı bölgeyi terk ettirilen insanlar göçü olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırmada, hanehalklarının %46.9'unun gıda güvensizliği olduğunu,% 49.6'sının son bir ayda açlıkla karşı karşıya kaldığını ve hanelerin%48'inin kötü ve sınırda yiyecek tüketim skoru yaşadığını saptamıştır. Ayrıca, hanehalklarının %46.2'snda azaltılmış kopya stratejisi endeksi orta, yüksek veya çok yüksek düzeyde bulunmuştur.
