Abstract

The objective of this document is to present the rationale, main concepts and specific parameters that sustain the analysis of conflict and hunger under the MEFIC approach. The MEFIC framework provides an analytical model to understand how violent actions exhibited during armed conflict act as a causal
factor contributing to food insecurity.

This document is part of a series of MEFIC action-oriented research publications, based on field monitoring, surveys, testimonies, lessons learnt and recommendations on how to best prevent and mitigate the effects of conflict on the food security of affected communities.

The theoretical considerations detailed below will be completed by another document focusing on the practical implementation of the MEFIC  methodological approach and tools.
