Regional Cooperation for Food Security: The Case of Emergency Rice Reserves in the ASEAN Plus Three

Briones, Roehlano M. | November 2011

Abstract

After the food price crisis in 2008, interest in international emergency food reserves has been revived worldwide. In this paper, Roehlano Briones presents the rationale for an international emergency food reserve, its role in mitigating food security risk in relation to alternative instruments, and its complementarity with normal international food trade. He then reviews international experience in emergency food reserves, focusing on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and neighboring countries, and discusses the case of the ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve, established in October 2011. The paper identifies practical challenges facing the operation of emergency food reserves, and outlines a corresponding agenda for policy setting and research.

Traders in the Greater Mekong Subregion require efficient logistics services that can move their goods to the right place, at the right time, in the right condition, and at the right price.

Gender Equality in Education in Indonesia

Education Sector Analytical And Capacity Development Partnership (Education Sector Analytical And Capacity Development Partnership, 2015-01-15)

Good practice and innovation in mainstreaming gender equality in education exist in Indonesia and other countries. However, in Indonesia, opportunities are missed because such practice remains largely localized and relatively small scale, often through limited pilot projects which seldom move to scale. A key challenge is therefore to evaluate and disseminate good practice, and to prioritise ...
