INTRODUCTION

Aspectos conceptuales

El objetivo del presente Manual de Procedimientos es el de propiciar una adecuada y oportuna gestión de la cooperación internacional ante la ocurrencia de un desastre en que el Ecuador esté involucrado, sea en condición de asistente o de asistido, o simplemente como facilitador de asistencia; contando con procedimientos concertados que repercutan en la reducción de la pérdida de vidas humanas y daños materiales.

The economic dimension of desertification, land degradation and drought ( DLDD ) is increasingly gaining importance.

For this reason, the UNCCD has launched an initiative to help make the economic side of desertification, land degradation and drought ( DLDD ) an integral part of policy strategies and decision-making. An important step in this direction was the Partnership meeting on the Assessment of the »Economics of Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought« ( EDLDD ), held December 14 – 15, 2010.

Reporting period: 01 – 28 February 2011

Résumé

Main Findings

• Overall, findings indicated a good food consumption situation with 80 percent of the interviewed IDP and refugee households as well as 90 percent of resident and mixed community households having an acceptable food consumption score.

• The food security situation has remained relatively stable for all community groups and has significantly improved for resident communities compared to February and November 2010. This is attributed to an acceptable food consumption score combined with an improved income situation.
